My personality

My story

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

Looking for a loyal companion with personality plus? Sherlock is your guy! This clever pup may have started life solving mysteries on his own, but now his greatest investigation is finding his forever home.

Sherlock is a character with a silly, goofy, rule-bending personality. His favorite way to show affection? A good game of fetch! In fact, if you want to win this detective's heart, just bring a tennis ball to your meet-and-greet.

The perfect partner for Sherlock will understand his unique needs. He is protective by nature, and his ideal home would be an adult-only household that can provide structure and consistency.

Sherlock is very wary of strangers and it takes him some time to warm up to new people. But once you're in his inner circle, you'll discover a deeply affectionate and sweet soul who will bring endless joy to your life. He's currently working with trainers to polish his good-boy skills and is excited to show them off to the right family.

Sherlock is dog-selective – he prefers dogs that are more playful and relaxed. He doesn’t get along with cats, however, and prefers to keep his investigations feline-free.

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.
