Story
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. Ready to be the Watson to this Sherlock? Contact us to learn more about this special boy!

Story
Meet Marlie, a sweet and affectionate pup who's looking for a loving family to help her continue blossoming! This friendly girl gets along beautifully with everyone. She currently lives happily with four other dogs and loves cats and kids, too. Marlie has a playful, bouncy energy and loves nothing more than running around in the yard, though she's easy to tire out after a good play session. Marlie is wonderfully social, but she can be a little timid when facing new situations. She's looking for a patient owner who will continue to help build her confidence. Some basic obedience training would be great to provide the structure that will set this sweet girl up for success. If you're looking for a loving, playful companion, Marlie is ready to run straight into your heart. To ask about Marlie, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet Beefcake, a goofy and HUGE 1-year-old male Great Dane who's looking for his best human buddy. Beefcake is a big guy with a big heart. This giant is affectionate at home and adoringly leans on his humans, but he's still learning to navigate his size. Beefcake is deaf, which means he relies on visual cues for communication. He's nervous meeting new people on leash, but is friendly once he gets to know them. Beefcake has some territorial tendencies and is currently working with our professional dog trainers to address these behaviors. He needs someone who’s willing to be consistent with training, work with the tools he requires and be patient as he learns and progresses. He enjoys being around other dogs, but cats are not his thing. Beefcake must go to a home with someone who has experience with very large dogs and is willing to continue his training journey. His ideal home is with a single adult or adult couple — no children, please, due to his size and training needs. If you're ready to give Beefcake the guidance and attention he needs, he'll be a loyal companion in return. This beefy boy needs an experienced owner and a lot of love, structure and patience—could it be you? Ready to meet Beefcake? Come see how this big bundle of joy can fit into your home. To ask about Beefcake, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Say hello to Gigi! This adorable peach is bursting with love for people and isn't shy about showing it. With her perfect mix of snuggles and sass, she's ready to bring her special brand of enthusiasm to your home!

While she's definitely the "queen of the castle" type, she gets along wonderfully with more laid-back dogs who don't mind her being the boss. This spunky lady would do best with older, sturdier kids who can handle her boisterous play style. And quick note: Gigi has officially declared cats not on her friend list! The perfect home for this good girl will give her plenty of activity, consistent boundaries, and all the love her big heart deserves. Ready for a dog that's equal parts spirited and sweetness?
