Rene Basham

Board Member 

Rene Basham has dedicated much of her life to serving the Midland community, with a career spanning over 30 years in the field of addiction recovery. She continues to work part-time, providing care and support to individuals affected by addiction.

Her commitment to helping others also includes many years of service with the Midland Soup Kitchen, where she played an active role both as a volunteer and board member.

Now, Rene is embracing a new chapter—shifting her focus from human services to animal welfare. A devoted advocate for rescue pets, she shares her home with three beloved dogs: Queenie, Romeo, and Olive.

​Her deep compassion and lifelong dedication to service make her a welcome addition to the Midland Humane Coalition, where she looks forward to helping God’s beautiful four-legged creatures find safety, love, and forever homes.
