My story

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

Alright you caught me fair and square, I am the guy from Florida that used to be....a silly adventurous Shepherd boy! I am still that same guy. I found myself migrating north to a cooler climate in search of broader horizons. I am a boy of travel, wonder, excitement. I am also a boy that can relax, spend time with a lovely person, enjoys going for walks, enjoys playing with a ball or 2. I have spent the last year living in a kennel. The most generous and kind people have allowed me to stay here in the safety of this place while I find a home to call my own. Here I have learned how to behave, walk nicely on a leash and how to stay patient. I get out a bunch but I long for home. 

I enjoy being around people. I am a strong dog and probably would push over some smaller humans but I enjoy everyones company. I prefer a home where I am the only pet. I havent had too many interactions with other animals but I feel very happy being independent. My manners are pretty good and I can stay focused on my human, even when other dogs try to distract me. I would love more than anything else in this world, to just be your very best friend. I promise I will crate at night, Ill potty only outside and Ill be a loyal true bud.

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.
