ABOUT
OUR RESCUE
A ReJoyceful Animal Rescue is a no-kill, foster-based cat and dog rescue. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity located in the Metro-Detroit area. All of the animals that come into in our care have been rescued from one place or another. We pull from high-kill animal shelters, we take in the sick, unwanted, aggressive, abandoned, abused and neglected animals. We place them in a foster home with someone who will understand them, rehabilitate them and show them what it is like to be loved again. We feel that all animals deserve better and we strive to give them a life full of love and happiness.
Our rescue does not cage animals that come into our care. Each animal that comes into our organization is a part of someone’s family until they find their forever homes. This helps us to determine their personalities and work with them to give them the one on one attention that they deserve. We also run a community outreach project, helping 24/7 chained dogs, stray/feral cats and more. We provide medical care (including TNR), food, treats, toys, bones, proper tie outs, collars, shelter, straw and more!

ANIMALS
Charlie
This sweet boy is looking for his forever home! Charlie was found left in a crate on a hot Detroit porch. His foster parents were unsure he would make it as he was extremely emaciated but he bounced back with a fighting spirit!
His big head and smaller body makes him look like Scrappy Doo (Scooby Doo's brother) but his personality is so warm and cuddly. He loves snuggling on the couch and his favorite activity is soaking up the sun in the backyard while sliding down the hill on his back. He is a very quick learner and is starting to enjoy playing with the frisbee and chewing on sticks. He is crate trained and is working on potty training! He is great on a leash and harness, in the car, and in the water. He is eager to go adventuring with his people!
Charlie also seems to get along great with other dogs and cats but will benefit from more socialization and training. With lots of love and care he will make a great addition to your family!

Jesse
Hi my name is Jesse and I love to cuddle and entertain people with my play. I dig the sun for the daily grooming and relaxing;) I have had all my age appropriate shots, spayed and microchipped. I was born in May of 2021. I am a little bit smaller than I should be as I had a rough start to life and no dogs please.

Capone
Hey everyone!!! My name is Capone.... like Al Capone....I'm a 2-year-old American Bulldog/ Boxer/Hound/St. Bernard mix and I weigh 65 pounds.... wow I'm a lot of different dogs. I like to play with the stuffy toys and squeaky toys my foster mom has. I like chewing on bones, gotta keep my teeth pretty. I also love playing with a laser pointer. I live with 2 other dogs; one is a little smaller than me so it took some time to realize he was a good boy too. The other dog is a Yorkie so he's alot smaller than me but he's a crabby old man, so I try to leave him alone. I also live with 2 kitties and don't bother them, but every once awhile I like to chase them but don't tell my foster mom she says we don't chase the kitties Capone blah blah blah. I'm a little unsure of new people and I really don't like dogs bigger than me. I would probably do better with no kids under 16. I will need someone that understands all the breeds I am, and I also need a strong handler because I am reactive with new people and other dogs. I have Grade 2 heart murmur and arrhythmia, but I saw a special doctor that said I didn't need any type of medical treatment at this point. My foster mom just watches when I'm outside that I don't get to hot or over-excited or too stressed because of the murmur. Anyways I gotta go I see a squirrel in yard, and I need to show him this my yard not his.... bark at ya later

ROADIE
Roadie was found on the side of the road after being dropped by a hawk. He was left for dead until a good samaritan found him. He was brought into our rescue and received full medical care. He now, has made a 85% recovery and is only expected to further improve. Roadie is now adopted and no longer available. Read more about Roadie's story here.
CREED
Creed was found on the streets of Detroit severely emaciated with a mangled foot. Our volunteers believed he was hit by a car and left to die. Creed was rushed to the hospital where he was fighting for his life. At one point while trying to stabilize him he flat lined and died for 15 minutes. The animal universe was on his side as doctors and techs performed CPR on him for 15 straight minutes and he came back to life. He survived dying, heartworm treatment, leg amputation, neutering and additional rehabilitation and therapy. Creed has since recovered with his foster, now permanent, mom.
AMARI
Amari was found on the side of the road by a good samaritan. She was involved in a dog fight and left on the side of the road to die. ARAR stepped up and helped save her life. Doctors predicted she would have a 5% chance at living; however, this strong girl defied all odds and made a full recovery. She is now happy and healthy in a furever home.
STAFFORD
Stafford was shot between the eyes with a 45 caliber handgun by some awful person on the streets on Detroit to no fault of his own. Stafford is now blind in one eye and the bullet broke inside of Stafford's jaw. Stafford was also heartworm positive. He has since made a full recover and is in a furever home with his young best friend.
"I can’t say enough about ARAR! I rescued my Bianca Mae three years ago. She got out of the house earlier this year and i was a mess. They searched with me from sun up until sun down for over two days and called upon all their available resources until she was found safe and back with us. They aren’t just a rescue that gives you a dog and walks away. They kind of become family. Thank you will never be enough for all they’ve done for my family. If you’re looking for a reputable rescue who thoroughly loves the animals in their care and will do all they can to help those in need, look no more and check out ARAR."
