🎉🐾 One Year of Reborn Rescue 🐾🎉
Today, my heart is overflowing with gratitude as we celebrate our first anniversary.
🐶🐾 These are not just numbers. They are lives. Every dog rescued, every family created, every rehabilitation, reminds us why we do this.
I certainly did not do this alone.
💞To my incredible supervisors, Andrea and Courtney, a simple thank you, will never be enough. Your time, dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment never go unnoticed. Rescue is not for the weak, and we've experienced both the hardest days and the most rewarding moments together. I couldn't ask for a better team beside me.
🐶💉A thank you to our irreplaceable veterinarian, Dr. Jordan Guy. You have taught me so much over this past year, and Reborn Rescue simply would not exist without you. We always joke that "we need a reality show." Maybe someday we'll get one!
🤗 Thank you as well to Dr. Chelsea, Huron Veterinary Clinic, and Atlanta Veterinary Clinic for your incredible partnerships and your willingness to take on the more difficult procedures our rescue dogs need. Your compassion has helped save countless lives.
🤝 Our shelter partners Genessee County Animal Care, Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, Detroit Animal Care and Control and Cheboygan County Humane Society. We thank you for all the dogs we have transferred to you from our area, that no other shelter would take. As well as calling on our rescue and trusting us with transfers.
🏠 Over the last year, we've built so much more than a rescue, we've built a family. A community of volunteers, fosters, adopters, donors, business partners, and friends who continue to believe in our mission.
👏🏼When the days are long and the challenges feel overwhelming, it's all of you who keep us going. Your encouragement reminds us that this work matters.

You are part of every life we've been able to save.
💞This rescue belongs to all of us.💞
And while we're known as a dog rescue, our mission reaches even further. Through our Healing Paws Project, we've had more than 50 individuals participate in animal-assisted therapy while recovering from substance use disorder. Watching the healing that happens on both ends of the leash has been one of the greatest things we have witnessed.
🖤Finally, to my husband, my children, my family, and my friends, thank you. There have been many days when I had to ask you to step in and carry responsibilities so I could answer another rescue call, save another life, or simply keep going. Your love and support have made this possible, and I will never take that for granted.
💞My heart is so full today.
Here's to every wagging tail, every happy ending, every lesson learned, and every person who believed in us from the beginning. Even the ones who didn’t believe in us, you only made us stronger.
🐾🎉 We're just getting started. 🙌
Team Reborn Rescue isn't going anywhere, we're here to stay. 🖤- Shan - CEO & Founder
