He is very fearful of leaving the house and often tries to pull back toward home. He can be hypervigilant outdoors, so he’ll need continued positive reinforcement, training, and plenty of time to learn that the world isn't such a scary place.Wally would do best in a home with a secure, fenced yard and another friendly dog who can be his playmate and help show him the ropes. Most importantly, he needs a family who understands that building trust takes time and is willing to celebrate the little victories along the way. Wally has so much potential, and with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he can grow into the confident, happy pup he deserves to be.Could you be the safe place Wally has been waiting for? Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Moose was released from a puppy mill and he is amazing! His personality couldn’t be better. He is approximately 100 pounds, but looks smaller than that. He loves to roam around in the back yard—sniffing everything or just laying in a sunny spot. He really wants to be with his foster family. He loves being petted, butt scratched, ears massaged—he is relishing all the attention he is getting from his foster family. He is very good (and patient) with his 3 and 5 yr old house humans. He is good with other dogs from 7# to 140#. You just can’t ask for better. He crates well at night or if you are leaving the house. He is picking up housebreaking quickly. He is available for adoption. Don’t wait—he will be adopted quickly!

Ingrid has a cherry eye that we plan to have evaluated by a veterinarian to determine whether surgery is necessary at this time. For now, she seems comfortable and does not appear to be too bothered by it. We will make sure her needs are addressed so she can continue to enjoy life as the happy, playful girl she is!

Ingrid is good with children and most other dogs, but she is not a fan of cats. She is searching for a loving family who will give her all the love, attention, and quality time her big heart desires. In return, you will have a loyal, devoted companion who will fill your days with affection, laughter, and plenty of big-girl cuddles. Could Ingrid be the missing piece to your family? Bring this lovable big baby home, and get ready for a whole lot of love wrapped up in one very special girl.

If you are interested in learning more about Ingrid, please contact us directly by calling us at 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org. _____ See what's new with our rescue including updates on our animals and upcoming events: https://lnk.bio/redemptionroadinc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/R4inc/ Instagram: @redemptionroadinc Our trainer's Instagram: @fullcircledogtrainer

Atlas is a happy, affectionate boy who truly loves everyone he meets. He does well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends to play with. He already knows basic commands, and we are continuing to work with him on leash training and calm, slow-approach greetings. Atlas can get a little excited when meeting new people because he just wants everyone to know how happy he is to see them!

Atlas was surrendered to a rural pound when he was around 7–8 months old after his family's circumstances changed. Despite that unexpected start, Atlas has remained a loving, playful, people-friendly boy who is eager to please and ready for his next chapter.

His favorite things include walks, car rides, playing with other dogs, chasing and playing with his ball, and of course plenty of snuggles with his people.

Atlas would do best with a loving, active family who will continue his training, keep him well socialized, and give him plenty of opportunities to learn, play, and be part of the family. With continued guidance and love, Atlas has everything he needs to keep growing into the very best boy he can be.

Could Atlas be the happy, goofy, loving addition your family has been waiting for?

Atlas' adoption fee is $400.00. This includes completed wellness, age appropriate vaccines, and completed spay.

Stanley has been back with us for a short time, but his fosters have started building his confidence with new people, and he has already made great progress. His ideal guardians are calm, confident, patient, and dog-experienced or dog-savvy who can work with Stanley to help him nurture and develop a little more self-confidence. He's an exceptionally loyal, devoted, and amenable dog to those he loves and trusts, and he wants so badly to please that we are confident that, with just a little more time, exposure, support, and understanding, he will blossom into the more confident dog we know he wants to be! He's spent most of his life with at least one other dog and is sharing his foster home with several others. Stanley is much more confident overall when other dogs are around, and we think a home with at least one other confident, balanced dog to show him the ropes would be fantastic, but not necessarily a deal breaker in his search for a forever home. As a mix of hunting, herding, and working breeds, Stanley also needs a home committed to exercising him properly and giving him an outlet for his energy and enthusiasm. He'd make a great hiking or running companion and a great candidate for many dog sports, like tracking, nosework, or earth dog trials. Training for these sports, for fun or competitively, would be a great way to grow his confidence and bond with new guardians. He's active, energetic, and athletic, and loves nothing more than a good game of fetch, but he's also one who knows how to settle down and does not need constant entertainment or engagement throughout the day. He's incredibly intelligent and wickedly c

Julia was abandoned with her brother, Caesar, in a park by her human about 1 month ago. After a short stint at the local animal control as a stray, she and her brother were claimed by a very kind person who knew the dogs and gave them a temporary home to keep them safe until they could find their forever home(s). Julia is a low-key girl but she insists on getting the lion's share of attention when love is being handed out. She is confident and happy, loves naps and people. Julia enjoys children age 10 or older due to her larger size and exuberance. She has not been exposed to cats and is yet to be tested with other dogs other than her brother. She was housetrained but with the upheaval and uncertainty in her life recently, there have been mishaps. With a routine schedule, she should be reliably trained again quickly. She has not yet shown that she understands commands and needs work on leash-walks. She is eager to please and treat motivated, so additional training on these should be a breeze and will be an opportunity to form a solid bond with her person/people! Julia is the leader for her brother, Caesar, when they are together but they can be adopted separately. She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. As with all dogs, she will need to be placed on a heartworm preventative during mosquito weather to keep her healthy.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been processed, the owner will contact you to arrange a meeting. The owner will be asking for a donation from adopters of $225 each or $375 for both.

Caesar was abandoned with his sister, Julia, in a park by his human about 1 month ago. After a short stint at the local animal control as a stray, he and his sister were claimed by a very kind person who knew the dogs and gave them a temporary home to keep them safe until they could find their forever home(s). Caesar is a sweet, loving guy who stays very close to his person(s) for a sense of security. He is curious and loves chew toys. He is less out-going than his sister and looks to her for confidence at times. Caesar enjoys children age 10 or older due to the sometimes unpredictable behaviors, movements and vocals of younger children. He has not been exposed to cats and is yet to be tested with other dogs other than his sister. He was housetrained but with the upheaval and uncertainty in his life recently, there have been mishaps. With a routine schedule, he should be reliably trained again quickly. He has not yet shown that he understands commands and needs work on leash-walks. He is eager to please and treat motivated so additional training on these should not be difficult, and this is an opportunity to form a solid bond with his person/people and increase his confidence and your enjoyment! Caesar's sister, Julia, is currently his "go-to" for comfort when they are together but they can be adopted separately. Caesar is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. As with all dogs, he will need to be placed on a heartworm preventative during mosquito weather to keep him healthy.

Ruby is looking for a family who will enjoy her enthusiasm for life, keep her active, and give her plenty of love along the way. She may have a little extra pep in her step, but that's just part of what makes her so much fun!

Nova is housebroken and will tolerate a crate, although she’ll be the first to tell you it’s not her favorite place! She walks well on a leash but can be reactive when encountering new or unfamiliar experiences, so she needs a confident, patient adopter who will continue working with her and help her build confidence.

Nova would do wonderfully as the only dog in an active household, where she can soak up all the attention. She can do well with other dogs, but introductions need to be slow, controlled, and thoughtful. Because of her energy level, reactivity, and need for structure, we feel she would be most successful in an adult-only home with no cats.

This girl has plenty of German Shepherd energy and needs room to move! Nova is not a candidate for apartment or condo living and will require a large, securely fenced yard where she can safely exercise and play. An active family who enjoys walks, training, outdoor time, and keeping both her body and brain busy would be a great match.

German Shepherd or similar working-breed experience is strongly preferred. Nova isn't looking for someone who expects a couch potato—she needs someone who appreciates the intelligence, loyalty, energy, and personality that come with the breed.

Nova does have pannus, a chronic eye condition that requires ongoing care. She currently receives two eye medications twice daily. Her future family will need to be comfortable continuing her eye-care routine and veterinary follow-up.

Nova's Ideal Home

Adult-only home

No cats

Preferably the only dog, although another dog may be possible with slow introductions

Large, securely fenced yard

No apartments or condos

Active household

German Shepherd/working-breed experience preferred

Someone willing to continue working on her confidence and reactivity

Committed to her lifelong eye care

Nova may need a little more structure and understanding than the average dog, but for the right person, she has the potential to be an incredibly rewarding companion. If you love German Shepherds and are looking for an active girl to become your loyal sidekick, Nova might just be the one you've been waiting for.

Nova’s adoption fee is $400.00. This includes completed wellness, age appropriate vaccines, and completed spay.

Moe will need an experienced dog owner. While he shows no signs of aggression in daily life, he has reacted with little warning when medications are applied to his ears or skin during treatment for infections. Outside of these situations, he is affectionate and stable. His future family should be comfortable working with a veterinarian and using management strategies for medical care.

One thing to note—Moe is curious and a known countertop surfer! Food should be kept out of reach, as he won’t hesitate to help himself if given the chance.

Moe is looking for a knowledgeable, active home that understands his needs and will love him for the fun, loyal companion he is. With the right fit, Moe will be a devoted sidekick ready for adventure, play, and plenty of cuddle time.

playing ball is one of his favorite things. He
gets along well with most other dogs but would do best in a home without cats. He loves children; however, due to his large size and playful nature, a home with older kids would be the best fit.

This lovable girl is always wagging her tail and is truly delighted to meet everyone she encounters, from young children to adults. She has a friendly, social nature and does wonderfully with our resident dog, so she could be a great fit for a home with another canine companion. She also leaves our resident cats alone.

Buttons enjoys spending time outdoors, loves going on walks, and is always ready for her next adventure. Most of all, she wants to be near her people. Whether you’re relaxing at home or out for a stroll, Buttons will be happily by your side with a wagging tail and a heart full of love.

Buttons is looking for a forever family to share all of that sweetness with. Could she be the one for you?

Button’s adoption fees are $350. This includes age appropriate vaccines, completed wellness visit, microchip and completed spay.

Anyone who is familiar with Australian Cattle Dogs knows they need regular activity and exercise. Waylon and Cash would love a new home where they have the opportunity for daily walks/exercise. They do get excited when seeing other dogs on walks but will bark and react more toward each other than the other dog(s).

They were raised with young children and continue to see little kids regularly. They are sturdy herding breed dogs so a family who would keep them well exercised and monitor interaction to avoid anyone getting knocked over or too excited/mouthy will be important.

Waylon and Cash will sleep in the bedroom with you at night, but not on the bed. They are good with free roam of the house for approximately 6 hours. Waylon and Cash have always been treated well and have had a great home. Will you give them a chance and provide their new forever home?

Waylon and Cash are microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today!

Meet Emerald! Emerald is a super sweet girl with the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. She walks beautifully on a leash and seems to know exactly when it's time for fun and when it's time to kick back as the ultimate couch potato. She loves showering her favorite people with sweet kisses and is always happy to soak up affection. One of Emerald's most charming features is her unique coat, with adorable wispy wire hairs sprinkled throughout her soft, short fur, giving her an extra-special look that's just as unique as her personality. If you're looking for a loving companion who enjoys both adventures and cozy nights at home, Emerald can't wait to meet you!
