A ReJoyceful Animal Rescue

A ReJoyceful Animal Rescue 501C3 Dog & Cat Rescue speaking for the Voiceless in Michigan. A ReJoyceful Animal rescue is always in desperate need of new volunteers. The choice is yours.
(187)

Just a quick message as a reminder to our wonderful supporters: Our organization is volunteer-based, we run solely on the efforts of our fabulous volunteers. These volunteers work full time jobs, have families with children in extracurricular activities, pets of their own and other responsibilities and yet still squeeze time out of the day to volunteer their time to our organization and otherwise

homeless animals. With that being said, sometimes things happen out of our control... please remember it could take 24-72 hours for someone to respond to applications, questions, etc. We always are looking out for the best interest of our animals to ensure they are placed with the best possible families. If you haven't received a response within 3 days, please email us at [email protected] or message us on this page! Thank you for your continued support.

- The ARAR family
------------------------------------------------------------

Ever wonder how YOU can make a huge impact on the lives of these poor helpless animals? We need volunteers to aide in fundraising, aide in follow up, fostering, help with administrative or just say a prayer for the babies we are trying to save. If you want to volunteer we can always use your help. It does not matter if you can devote as little as 4 hours a week or 40 hours a week. Every volunteer makes a difference. Here are the various volunteering opportunities available:

Fostering – This is probably one of the most rewarding experiences ever! To see an animal come to you that is helpless, lonely, lost, abused and neglected go from underdog to wonderdog is probably the best feeling in the whole world. Fostering can be demanding at times given the situation of the animal that has been placed in your care. However, fostering should cost you no money at all. The rescue will provide everything that is needed to help you foster the animal in your care. All the foster has to do is ensure that the animal you are fostering gets to its scheduled vet appointments (of course these appointments would be when it is best fit into the fosters schedule), gets the love and attention that the animal so much deserves. The rescue will do everything else. We provide the food, medical care, crates, toys, beds, moral support, ANYTHING you need to care for the animal the rescue will provide. Once the animal is placed up for adoption, you have the choice to be actively involved in the placement of the animal or you can let the rescue do it also. Fostering is by far one of the most life changing things you can do for the animal. The more foster homes we have, the more lives that can be saved. Please consider this if you have the room and availability. All foster homes must be reviewed prior to fostering. All animals currently in the home MUST be spayed or neutered and current on all vaccines, monthly heartworm preventive, monthly flea preventive and healthy prior to the rescue placing a foster animal in your care. The rescue will NEVER place a foster animal in your home that you cannot handle or that will not fit into your lifestyle. We ask that when you sign up to take on a foster animal, you sign up for what could be a long commitment. It can take anywhere from a week to a year or longer to find an animal the right family. If you do not intend on keeping a foster animal for an extended period of time, fostering might not be the right opportunity for you. Maybe another volunteering opportunity within the organization would better suite you…. Administrative – A ReJoyceful Animal Rescue can always use administrative help. We are always in need of volunteers to do follow up on animals, helping to maintain files, maintain the website, maintaining the e-mail database, sending out spay and neuter reminders, aiding in the placement of animals, helping at adoption events, educating the public, helping to streamline processes and procedures, bringing fresh new ideas to the table. Fundraising – This is also a rewarding way to volunteer. We are always in need of volunteers to steer and head up fundraisers. This is how the rescue can stay in business and save the lives that need us so desperately. If you are a good people person and “ain’t to proud to beg” helping with our fundraising efforts might be right up your ally. We need volunteers to solicit for donations, solicit for donation baskets / giveaways for fundraising events, bring fresh and innovative ideas for different types of fundraisers to do, help with organizing adoption events, help with marketing and branding. If none of the above qualifies for something that you could do, we can ALWAYS use monetary donations to help the cause. Every dollar helps. No donation is too small. Paypal:

We have another urgent need for new foster or an adoptive home for sweet Jaxson! We are out of space at the shelter and out of time for finding placement for these pups. PLEASE help! We have to close our doors to new intakes until our four urgent dogs and puppies find new placement 💔

Meet 1-2 year old Jaxson!

Jaxson is a very handsome, friendly, and loving companion who would make a wonderful family dog. He is still young so he is still learning some manners but he is doing a great job. He loves belly rubs and snuggling and will follow his people from room to room. Jaxson’s favorite activity is going for walks and he is very good on a leash. He does need a fenced yard to play in. This sweet boy loves all people. He gets along with other dogs and would probably like to have a canine sibling to play with. We would recommend a home with older children because he is a big puppy who gets zoomies and he doesn’t know how strong he is. He is learning basic commands and already knows sit and lay down. Jaxson is crate trained for 4-5 hours. Heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. This super sweet boy only wants to give love and affection.

We are asking everyone to please share this sweet girl far and wide in hopes to help her find her family 🙏🏻

Nani has not had an easy life. But you’d never know it by how loving, sweet, and happy this girl is.

Last summer we assisted Detroit Fire Department on a rescue for a stray mama dog who was showing up asking for food. She was plump one day and skin and bones the next indicating to them that she had very fresh puppies somewhere. After a few feedings they were able to get her inside and called for help. When we showed up to DFD she was laying on the floor just softly crying/ whining in distress. She was immediately friendly when approached and rolled over for belly rubs then crawled in her rescuers lap 🥹 The fire dept asked help findong her puppies, so they put her on a long lead and let her walk them around, hopefully she would show them the way. At first it didn’t seem like it was gonna work because she was just scrounging for food / rolling over for belly rubs, and acting real casual. But on their walk she turned a corner and all of a sudden her entire demeanor changed. She was pulling on the leash, not looking back at all, and just on a mission. She took them straight to an abandoned house with a giant yellow sticker saying “to be demolished “ and a date which was past. She scurried under the crawl space and DFD was able to remove pieces of the house right to where her newborn maybe 1 week old puppies were. We couldn’t believe it worked!

Nani's babies are all grown and adopted, and now she is looking for a family to be hers Furever and give her the life she missed out on the first years of her life being a witty street dog. She’s ready to be the baby of the family and will repay you with unconditional love, endless Nani zoomies, and a wiggle butt everyday when you walk in the door.

Nani is 3-4 years old. She’s about 65 lbs and has a very athletic body style. She is a medium energy- loves to go for walks, learn new tricks, and lay on the couch and snooze the day away. She’s your typical pit mix because she loves to nap and be lazy when her switch is turned “off” 😆

She is crate and potty trained and once she decompresses I don’t think she’d even need to be crated because she doesn’t ever get into anything or do anything naughty.

A total lover girl, when she first meets new people she’s still the same shy and submissive dog I met in the firehouse last year, but she lives for love 💕

She does need a home as the only pet and someone who’s committed with working with her through her dog issues she’s developed from her life experiences. She has an eye for squirrels and is soooo athletic - no joke she can jump as high as my privacy fence - back feet almost to the top- if she sees a squirrel on the fence line 🐿️ but we haven’t had one issue with her attempting to go over and her recall is amazing. So a home who will train with her and commit to thinking outside of the box to keep her inside the fence (it’s super easy, we just go outside with her and watch her the whole time! We’ll help you get comfortable with this too)

Nani is so incredibly resilient and sweet. Please help her find her way to her furever family because she is so deserving of one 🙏🏻

She’s available at: https://www.rejoycefulrescue.com/adopt

Meet Coda!

Coda is a 4 month long haired female kitten. Like her brother, Treble, she is still shy and learning how to trust humans, but has warmed up quite a bit and comes around for pets now. She will require time and patience as she warms up to you, but she is so cuddly and sweet when she comes around. She instantly starts purring when she allows pets. She loves playing with her siblings and toys, and could adjust to another cat. Coda is fully vaccinated, has a clean f***l, and is litter box trained.

Please help Mama Autumn find her fur-ever home! 🙏🙏🙏

Autumn was found abandoned like a piece of trash tied to an old sink by the curb. She was extremely pregnant. She had her babies at Animal Control and was transferred into our care a day later. Autumn raised 10 beautiful babies and is now ready for the next step in her journey.

Autumn is a very sweet, medium energy dog who would love nothing more than to cuddle on the couch with you. She can get along with other dogs with slow, proper intros. She prefers other dogs that are low-key and not in her face. Autumn loves every human she meets and wants to spend every second of her day with them. She has not been cat tested yet.

❤️ 2 years old
❤️ Boxer mix
❤️ Sweet and cuddly
❤️ Still learning how to play with toys
❤️ Not destructive
❤️ Mostly housebroken
❤️ Looking for a family that can be home with her a lot
❤️ Physically fenced in yard preferred

Autumn is deteriorating in our shelter now that her kids have left. She's lonely and sad. She cries all day in her kennel for someone to come let her out. Please consider being her Christmas angel for the holidays.

** Urgently Seeking Foster or Adopter!! **

Hello, my name is Meadow,

I had a rough start to life, but everyday I show my foster family how grateful I am I was given a second chance! I’m such a happy puppy.

I'm a 4 month probable lab mix, and my favorite things to do are run outside in the leaves, play with my toys, and I LOVE playing with my doggy foster sister. I love to snuggle in bed at night with the humans, but I am working on crate training! Getting better everyday.
I am also working on potty training, I’ve been very good about not having any accidents in the house.

I just want a family to give all my love to, and especially all of my kisses! I would probably do best in a house that has another dog or puppy. I don’t pay the kitties any mind, but I really love playing with the other dogs. I’ll come up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and healthy as can be!

Adopt me here: www.rejoycefulrescue.com/adopt

**Update: Adoption Pending!**

Hello my name is Kate!

I am a sweet, energetic little lady who has a heart as big as my ears! I was born on September 12, 2024 and I am a German Shepherd/Malinois Shepherd Mix. I am up to date on all of my age-appropriate vaccines. I am doing great with my crate training and I am sleeping through the night in my crate most nights! I am also doing great with my housebreaking because my foster family lets me out a lot for potty breaks. I am getting a lot of practice with leash training and basic tricks (Sit, stay, place) as well. I do get a bit distracted sometimes since I am still learning, but if you have treats in your pocket, I am able to focus much better.

About my foster family: I am currently being fostered in Canton, MI and I have a kitty fur brother who I am doing great with! I respect kitty boundaries, but I do REALLY love to play so I would love a home with a playful doggy companion. I am also great with the human kids in my foster home. There is a 6 and a 5 year old who I also love to play with. Since I am still a teething puppy, I do nibble a bit so if you have small children, please keep this in mind. Otherwise, I really love playing with kids too! My foster mom is a stay at home mom so I am used to a lot of attention during the day and I don't love being left home alone too long.

My dream family:
Has another dog for me to play with and learn from and has patient humans who have time to complete my training. If you have a cat that should be fine with me, but I may want to play with him/her. I'd love a big yard with a tall fence. As I grow, I may be able to jump over short fences. I need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation as well. Puzzle feeders and long walks are a lot of fun for me.

With the holidays right around the corner, all I want is my happy, fur-ever home!
