People keep asking why I’m still smiling…

Because I’ve learned that peace is more powerful than proving a point.

Because every setback taught me something I needed.
Because what was meant to break me actually built me.
Because God carried me through days I never talked about.

And because building a business has taught me that success isn’t just about the wins—it’s about showing up, even on the hard days. The long nights, the slow seasons, the doubts, the lessons, the faith… they all became part of the journey.

Every candle poured. Every order packed. Every event. Every customer who chooses to support Kindred Spirit is a reminder that purpose always finds its people.

So yes… I’m still smiling. Not because life has been easy, but because I’ve seen what faith, resilience, and consistency can do. I refuse to let life’s challenges steal my joy.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, prayed for me, and believed in my dream. You are part of the reason I keep going.

The smile is real. The gratitude is real. And the best is still to come. 🤍✨

Rescue Brew 2026
Welcome to Rescue Brew 2026!

About Second Chance Pet Adoptions
Second Chance Pet Adoptions is the oldest no-kill animal rescue in Wake County, NC. Since our founding in 1987, we’ve saved over 22,000 animals in the counties around Raleigh-Durham NC and, in so doing, have made an immeasurable positive impact in our community. Together with our volunteers, donors, foster caregivers and adopters, we create second chances – and bright futures – for animals in need.

Our mission is to champion homeless cats and dogs who are healthy or treatable in the quest to find their forever homes & engage with our community to promote responsible pet ownership – ultimately reducing future generations of homeless animals.

Through this photo competition, one dog and one cat will become the face of Fullsteam’s special edition limited release, Rescue Brew. The dog who garners the most votes along with the cat who garners the most votes will be named our Top Pup and Top Kitty! Their winning photos will be turned into custom portraits from local artist, Echo Lilly Wilson. Those portraits will then become the official Rescue Brew 2026 labels!

The top 6 Kitties and Pups will be featured in the 2027 Rescue Brew Calendar! AND... each cat entrant and dog entrant will be entered into a drawing to win one of two $1,000 Visa gift cards! Just $10 to enter.

Starting May 1, 2026, submit a photo of your rescued pet and tell us why your dog or cat is the perfect face of Rescue Brew! Nominations open May 1 and end June 30. Voting ends July 10 at 9 pm EST.
