My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

SLIM SHADY
American Staffie mix, approx 6yrs

Slim is looking for the home of his dreams- since he has been living a nightmare for most of his life...
He's had it pretty rough…. outside 24/7 on a SHORT CHAIN, starved, beaten, a pathetic shelter, short chain to a tree and….obviously not shown an ounce of care or compassion. He is a SWEET dog! He greets shelter staff every morning at the door with a huge smile on his face, wiggle butt and wagging tail. Loves attention. Walks great on a leash, might possibly have some hearing deficits as well. He is willing to do anything for his people! He is friendly with all dogs when he meets then and has occasionally been a little selective with other males. Understandable for being incarcerated for so long. He doesn't seem to mind cats! In spite of his prior lack of food and care, he is NOT food protective towards people! He also takes treats with the softest grab! He has gained weight since his arrival- no excuse for his prior condition except for pure neglect and abuse.

Slim hasn’t had the greatest run and we believe it’s time for his Redemption, please consider taking home this tired boy that just needs a lucky break! He is currently safe in a foster home and cant wait to find his family.

More about this rescue

Rescue, Retrain, Redeem, and Re-home.
Redemption Road Rescue Rehab Inc (aka R4) is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization based in Lake County, Illinois. R4 functions as an all-breed and ages, dog and cat rescue that specializes in behavioral training and rehabilitation. We are a professionally operated nonprofit dog and cat rescue run by certified dog trainers. We believe the solution to “difficult” animals cannot just be euthanasia. Our mission is to place dogs and cats that have undergone our rehabilitation program with responsible, reliable, and devoted owners. Our training specialty is centered in dog behaviors and understanding the canine mind. We take in all breeds, all ages and work with domesticated felines and feral cat colonies as well. Our expectations of adopters: 1- Consider the animal as an individual with their own personality and behaviors. 2- Be willing to learn, ask questions, and implement training into their daily routine. 3- Work alongside our team to prepare their home to provide the best environment for their new family member. R4 is 100% volunteer-run and foster-based and relies on donations, fundraisers, grants, and sponsorships to allow our organization to fulfill our mission to animals in need.
