Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is primarily a sanctuary for senior and medically needy dogs.  Every once in awhile you will see younger dogs but for the most part our dogs live out their life at the ranch at the request of their previous owners or their owners families.  We have many sponsorship dogs.  Our sponsors love to keep in touch and know how their sponsored fur buddy is doing :)When we have foster families we are thrilled to be able to take adoptable younger dogs :)  So if you have ever thought about becoming fosters please feel free to go to our foster/volunteer page and fill out an application.The Ranch located at 737 Taylor Rd., Windsor, PA is always looking for dedicated volunteers that will commit to at least a 2 hour shift per week at the rescue.  Volunteers work in play yards, help with laundry and feeding.  Some enjoy landscaping or carpentry projects and some like to bake for the healing center visitors :)Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat)   Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not.   A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners. We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs. Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!October 14, 2024, 6:08 pm

RELAY IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE ADOPTED!     Relay is a loving 6 year old looking for his true forever home. He loves to snuggle with you on the couch or bed, but also loves to get out. Relay enjoys his daily walks and trips to the dog park. In his foster home he does well playing with other dogs, cats, and kids. Though he does well with my dogs and kids I personally think he would be best in a kid free home, or older children, or maybe an active person/couple. He loves big! He picks his person and is protector. He’s really a great dog, but he needs patience, reassurance, and love. Relay is a house trained and kennel trained. He is perfect for your active home. He is completely vetted. Vetting includes spaying/neutering, microchip, rabies as well as all puppy vaccinations, and has been on preventatives. His adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to PA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Relay up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Relay here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 1:30 pm

Meet Laura! Laura is the smallest of her three siblings, but she has a big heart and an even bigger personality! This adorable 37 lb terrier mix was born around mid-July and has the sweetest, slightly spunky nature. With her striking green eyes and short, sturdy frame, she’s as cute as can be. Laura sleeps soundly through the night in her crate, plays well with other dogs, and has already learned to walk on a leash. She’s a total sweetheart who is ready to bring love and joy to her forever home. Laura and her siblings, Jay and Shelbi, were found near a local church by kind-hearted good Samaritans. In honor of those who helped them, they were named after important members of the church community. Now, Laura is looking for a family to call her own—could it be yours?

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.12/14/24 STILL AVAILABLE 11/28/24 Poundcake (brown) and Shortbread (brindle) have been with me in rescue since they were 8wks old. They are now about a year old. These sweet girls have spina bifida which has left them completely incontinent. Other than incontinence, they have no other health problems. They are so deserving of a good life and forever home. They do well with diapers but require frequent changes because they are constantly dribbling. It would be helpful to express their bladders fully before diapering, to reduce their output. They currently sleep in a crate with a grate in bottom to stay clean. And they spend time on my porch which can be hosed off, on nice days. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to devote the time they deserve. They need homes of their own! They are SO SWEET. They can be adopted separately or together. They are excellent with other dogs of all sizes. They currently weigh about 45-50 lbs. They are spayed and up to date on everything. If anyone is interested in giving them a good forever home, this is the adoption application. https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.    Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.

We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. Update 3/22/25 Still available  2/28/25 Ok everyone, Zara has waited too long! She’s a Paws in Prison Graduate and has her Canine Good Citizen Certificate!  Let’s find her people! REDUCED ADOPTION FEE! Zara turned 1 year old on 12/1/24. She’s quick, energetic and ready to meet everyone on the planet. &#239&#191&#188 Zara's life didn't start out very good. She was living life on a 4 foot tie out but thankfully she was rescued.  We believe she is a Bull Terrier mix. She is VERY smart and she has a lot of energy. Zara is not only looking for someone to love her, but someone who can keep up with her adventurous spirit. Whether it’s a long run, a hike, or a game of fetch that never seems to end, Zara is always ready for action. She’s the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a good challenge and is eager to give her the mental and physical stimulation she thrives on. Zara is good with other dogs.  She’s already mastered the art of bonding with her human, and with a little guidance and consistency, she’ll be the perfect partner in crime. A home with a fenced yard is a must and she would love to have a confident, playful dog sibling to share her energy with. Zara may be high-energy, but with the right adopter, she will not only fulfill her potential but become the best companion you’ve ever had. If you’re ready to meet the challenge of keeping up with a dog like Zara, she’s ready to meet her perfect match. Zara knows several basic commands, is fully house-trained, and crate-trained.   Spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.
