Meet Prim! 🐾 This beauty is one loving soul. Her favorite thing to do is snuggle with her person. She's so full of life and ready to find her happily ever after. Shes not one to be a couch potatoe, this girl loved adventure. Are you the one? Age: ~ DOB 4/14/2024 Weight: ~40-45 lbs Breed: Likely Boxer mix (medium-sized, athletic) Energy Level: Very high - loves to run, jump, and play! Personality: Sweet, affectionate, people-loving, and playful. She’s very loyal and thrives on attention and activity. Other Dogs: Can be a bit selective and sometimes ornery with other dogs, so she’ll do best with a compatible dog friend or as the only dog. Cats: 🚫 Not good with cats - high prey drive. Special Traits: This girl is incredibly athletic! She can jump and climb like you wouldn’t believe, fences are no challenge for her. She’ll need a secure yard and someone who appreciates her adventurous spirit. Ideal Home: She needs an active home that can keep up with her energy and give her plenty of exercise. Perfect for someone who loves hiking, running, or outdoor activities. With training and structure, she’ll make an amazing companion. Adopters must be committed to keeping her on flea/tick (she has flea allergies so she must remain on monthly preventatives) and heartworm prevention, plus providing a safe, secure active environment. Whoever said you can’t pick your family never adopted a dog.

Story
Brucie is a very handsome, young boy looking for a forever home of his own. We believe he is a Boxer mix, sporting a very attractive brindle coat. We estimate Brucie’s date of birth at February 10, 2021. At the time of this posting he is just under two years old. He is about 60 lbs. Brucie loves people and is very affectionate. Given his size and energy level, he would not be an ideal canine companion for younger children. We expect children over the age of 12 would be ok. And of course, an all-adult home would be perfect for Brucie! Brucie is very active and energetic, and sometimes can get carried away with his play. He loves running in the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. He keeps himself entertained; he would not do well in a dog park or day care. An ideal home for Brucie is one in which he can thrive as an only dog, with a family experienced with larger dogs who sometimes can get out of hand. Brucie’s only “watch-out” is that he can be a bit of a resource guarder with his food and bones, but this issue can readily be managed as he gets to know his new family and as they learn more about him!! As is the case with all young, larger dogs, Brucie would greatly benefit from obedience training which can also be a bonding experience with his new family. No doubt, Brucie has the potential to evolve into the perfect pup, but is looking for that family willing to commit to him and provide him the forever home he deserves. Brucie is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered & microchipped and on year-round heartworm prevention. BAARK is located in the Chicago area; we adopt our dogs only local to the Chicago area. If you are interested in adding Brucie to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Story
Meet Bear: A Big-Hearted Brindle Beauty 🐾 Bear is a striking young Boxer mix with a gorgeous dark brindle coat and a personality as bold as his looks. Born around February 10, 2021, Bear is almost 5 years old and weighs about 60 lbs—full of energy and charm. 💙 Personality & Quirks: Bear is a people-loving pup who’s always eager for attention and affection. He’s not your typical chewer—but he does have a curious palate and has been known to sample rocks, sticks, and toys. His future family will need to keep a watchful eye to ensure he stays safe and avoids non-edible temptations. 🐕 Activity & Environment: Bear thrives in a secure, fenced yard where he can run and play to his heart’s content. He’s high-energy and sometimes gets a little carried away with his enthusiasm, so dog parks and daycare aren’t the best fit. He’s happiest as an only dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ideal Home: - Adults or families with children over 12 - Experience with large, energetic dogs - A commitment to ongoing training and structure - A safe environment free of tempting chewables Bear would flourish in a home that understands his playful spirit and is ready to guide him with patience and consistency. Obedience training will not only help him grow into his best self—it’ll be a wonderful bonding experience for his new family. 🩺 Health & Vetting: Bear is: - Fully vetted - Up to date on vaccinations - Neutered and microchipped - Heartworm negative and on year-round preventative 📍 Adoption Info Bear is being fostered through BAARK Dog Rescue, located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. We adopt locally within our area. If you’re ready to welcome Bear into your life and give him the forever home he deserves, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or call 847-852-0895.

-I-L-Y is part of our Home for the Holidays adoption promotion, so her adoption fee is 50% off!- Ah some fresh air! A little walk, a couple of zoomies in a play yard and I’m ready for belly rubs. Then let’s walk a little more, some sniffing here and there and of course I always stop to look at people when they talk to me. I love all the attention I can get. So now that you are seeing my online picture, imagine me with my big head of your lap, relaxing with you and just enjoying all these special moments of being together. I’m not too much into sharing my people with other pets but that’s just because I have so much love to give. My tail is wagging in anticipation of meeting my new family.

These pups are in Island Lake, Illinois too!

 Meet  Bella !  This sweet, sunny girl is ready to find her forever home!  Breed: Bully mix Color: Tan Weight: 48 lbs Spayed: Yes Bella  is a total lovebug who thinks EVERYONE is groovy — including the Amazon delivery man!!  She is quite happy, playful, and ready for a good game of fetch or some time with her favorite toys.  But... when its time to snuggle, she has trophies for that skill as well! Bella  is also a smart cookie! She knows sit, stay, heel, circle, speak, and kennel. She loves learning and showing off her tricks for treats and praise. Bella  enjoys the company of other dogs, especially males and easygoing females. She’d thrive in a home with playful canine friends. She’s quite selective with cats (she prefers to keep them at a distance) and takes her job of chasing critters out of the yard very seriously!  If you’re looking for a loyal, happy companion who will fill your home with love and laughter,  Bella  might just be your perfect match.  Location:  Bella  is currently being fostered in the Anna, Illinois area but loves to travel!     To ask about Bella, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet Cobain! At just over two years old and around 70 pounds, this handsome hunk is smart, mischievous, playful, and loving—a true toddler in canine form. Cobain came to us as a rough-around-the-edges pup with zero manners and zero direction. But with time, training, and consistency, he has transformed into an incredible companion. He’s now housebroken, crate-trained, a leash-walking all-star, and continues to learn new things every day. This boy greets people happily, though he’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground. Cobain can also be a bit of a roughhouser during playtime, so he’s best suited for a home with older, dog-savvy kids who can handle his goofy puppy antics. Outside the home, Cobain is an adventure dog at heart. He loves to explore and would make an amazing hiking or camping buddy. Cobain is dog-friendly, but like many pups, he can become scared or overwhelmed in big groups. One-on-one, however, he shines—especially with slow introductions. He plays well with other dogs (especially females) and would thrive in a home with a laid-back canine companion and a fenced-in yard where they can romp and chase each other.  If you think Cobain might be the perfect addition to your family, reach out to schedule a private meet & greet with him today! To ask about Cobain, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Tootsey is happy trotting smushface. Talk about being greeted with a smile everyday when you come home. She is a love bug, she enjoys belly rubs and quality time. Toots girl was sadly left behind by an owner that passed from a car accident. She and her mother found shelter and safety with a foster that has tended to them for an extended period of time. This sweet girl is crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, is a friendly pup to all people. She is somewhat of a slug and little hippo. She enjoys laying around in heaps of fluff, eating yummy treats and bringing loving vibes to any home. Tootsey would love to live in a family but as an only dog or pet. She doesn’t do the best with other animals but is easy to control and would be more than happy to have a beautiful yard to herself.  Consider giving this girl that’s waited 2 long years a cozy spot on your couch.  To ask about Tootsey, please contact us directly by calling  847-338-3252  or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.
