Dexter's 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 :)<br/>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.<br/>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 :)<br/>Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us!<br/>Hi there... my name’s Dexter.<br/><br/>One day I had a family — and then suddenly, I didn’t. My people brought me and my best friend, rufus to the shelter and said they couldn’t keep us anymore. I didn’t understand why. I watched them walk away, and no matter how long we waited, they didn’t come back.<br/><br/>Now were with 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue, and they promised that we will stay together in our next home. I’m a sweet loyal boy who loves playing. I’ll be your best friend, your shadow, and the reason you smile every day<br/><br/>Requiremnts: Fenced yard<br/><br/>Bonded with RufusPlease fill out an adoption application:<br/>Adoption application (Dog)<br/>Adoption Application (Cat)<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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!

Hi there... my name’s Dexter.

One day I had a family — and then suddenly, I didn’t. My people brought me and my best friend, rufus to the shelter and said they couldn’t keep us anymore. I didn’t understand why. I watched them walk away, and no matter how long we waited, they didn’t come back.
