Second Chance Paws - Kenosha County

05/15/2026

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to visit local dog parks, meet so many amazing people, and share the vision behind our future nonprofit 🐾

While doing that, we were also able to capture some really special moments between dogs and their families—and it’s been incredible seeing the support and encouragement from the community already.

The founder of our future nonprofit and her mom even joined in with a photoshoot of their own pup and donated toward our GoFundMe as well 🤍

To continue raising support, we’re excited to announce a special promotion running from May 1st through August 1st:

📸 Receive 10% off your pet photoshoot
🐾 PLUS 10% of your booking will be donated directly to our GoFundMe to help us become an official nonprofit

Every session helps support our mission of creating a community-based, cage-free shelter for at-risk, abused, and neglected animals.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far by sharing our posts, donating, booking sessions, or simply taking the time to learn about what we’re building. We’re so excited for what’s ahead!

If you’re interested in booking a session or learning more, feel free to message us or Bird Relken 🐶🦴🐾

Hi everyone 🐾

We wanted to give a quick update regarding our Yard Sale & Donation Drive that was scheduled for tomorrow, May 16th.

Due to the weather, along with an unexpected family emergency involving one of our board members, we’ve made the decision to reschedule the event for a later date.

While we’re disappointed to postpone, we want to make sure we’re able to give this fundraiser the time, energy, and turnout it deserves.

We truly appreciate everyone who planned to come out, donate items, share our posts, or support us in any way. Your encouragement means so much as we continue building this organization from the ground up.

We will announce the new date as soon as possible, along with updated details for donations and drop-offs.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support 🤍🐾

A tiny village built on one big mission: giving every animal a place to feel safe, loved, and wanted again.

Because every paw deserves a second chance at home.

Hi everyone! I wanted to come back on here and share a quick update on everything we’ve been working on 😊

Not too long ago, I made a post looking for people to help me build a Board of Directors, and I’m so excited to say that we officially have our board in place!

This is a huge step forward for us, because now we can begin the process of becoming a registered nonprofit. As we move into the next phase, we’re starting to raise funds to cover the legal and startup costs needed to make this official.

We officially launched our GoFundMe… and this is the first real step toward making this vision happen 🐾

For those who may be new here, I’ve been working on building a community-built, cage-free shelter for at-risk, abused, and neglected dogs and cats, along with a foster/temporary care system to help people going through difficult situations keep their pets.

This isn’t just about creating a shelter. It’s about building something better:
A place focused on rehabilitation, compassion, and keeping animals out of overcrowded systems whenever possible.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go toward:
🐾 Getting our nonprofit officially established
🐾 Covering startup and legal costs
🐾 Beginning the foundation for rescue and foster efforts
🐾 Future facility planning and resources

Even if you’re not able to donate, sharing this helps more than you know.

This is something I truly believe in, and I’m so grateful for any support as we get this off the ground.

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you 🤍🐾

To everyone who has followed, shared, donated, or even just taken the time to read about this project, it truly means more than I can put into words.

This idea started as something small, and seeing people already support it, encourage it, and believe in it is honestly incredible.

Every share helps this reach more people.
Every donation gets us one step closer.
And every bit of support reminds me why this matters so much.

We’re still at the very beginning, but because of you, this is already starting to feel real.

I’m so excited to keep building this and to have a community behind it that cares just as much about these animals and their futures.

Thank you for being part of this journey 🐾
