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.

Moe

Boxer

Male, 1 yr 8 mos
Mundelein, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Moe is a young Boxer mix with a big personality and a loving heart. He’s potty trained, crate trained, listens well, and does great with other dogs. Moe is generally good-natured and likes to stay close to his people—he enjoys being part of whatever’s going on. Moe loves toys and snuggles and has an active, playful side that will thrive with an engaged family. He would do best in an active home that can provide structure, exercise, and continued training. Because Moe can get mouthy during play, he should not be placed in a home with small children. 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.   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. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2618946##

Story
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. I’d prefer a home with not too much commotion. I’m also pretty smart – get me to sit and stay, throw a treat and then ask me to find it. I always succeed….I have to say that I really like food. My tail is wagging in anticipation of meeting my new family.

Story
Good morning miss Max! You smile though your eyes have seen some hard times. You trust though your past should say otherwise. This darling girl has not yet in her life found a soft place to land. She is still trying to make her way in this life that shows little mercy. Max find herself now at the Mchenry Animal Control, waiting her turn to leave with a happy beginning or her turn to potentially be put down for space. Max came from an unstable environment, and her previous owners are actually facing criminal charges for a variety of reasons. Where is her justice, her peace? That only arrives for Max when she can walk out of animal control and into the home of a loving family. This girl is sweet, loving, playful, cheerful despite it all, she enjoys humans very much. At this time Max is not showing signs of being the most dog friendly and after months of being in animal control she is less tolerant of those interactions. She was living with her sister for a while and they got along until the time at animal control became drawn out. We, being a training-based rescue will sponsor free training through our professional trainers to any adopter that will take her home. Max has a great opportunity to learn under a professional in the home of someone hat wants the commitment to this girl. The training will be in your home as well. All custom to her needs and her tools will be provide free of charge.  Max is a strong girl and still learning some manners, so we suggest a home with older children. She can learn to socialize better with animals in a calmer environment but we do suggest at this time she be an only pet. If you are interested, please reach out this girl needs you!

Story
Meet this beautiful bully named sugar. She is a loyal, playful, jiggly girl. Sugar was originally from a breeder. She has a beautiful build and is in great health, she finds herself currently looking for a new loan due to life changes in her previous owners path. Sugar was not socialized very well with other animals, but loves people very much. She would do great in a home as an only pet. Sugar likes people of all ages and lived with children. Where she grew up, she was a puppy and had lived with a dog that constantly went aggressively after her, and she eventually stood up for herself when she realized how big she had become. This led to inevitable Hazards with having both dogs together, especially around small children, and that is why she is currently being rehomed. The original older dog was the aggressor, but due to having lived through this experience, she is quite cautious around other dogs and really we believe with drive in a home without other pets..   Sugar is a good listener and has some basic training under her belt. She would be a great companion for long walks and would fill your heart with a lot of joy. Just spending quality time with her. If you’re looking for a lovely bully breed, she’s your girl.    Contact us to learn more by calling us at  847-338-3252  or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.
