Meet Remy! This sullen faced handsome guy is a natural born home body. He enjoys quality time with his humans and wants very little to do with the rest of the world. Remy is an outdoorsman. He would love to live on a property where he can protect the yard, guard the house and enjoy a beautiful landscape. Remy truly enjoys being out under the trees and sunbathing on a warm porch. Remy has some tendencies to be protective over his loved ones. He can be a great listener and will do great under the guidance of an experienced dog owner, especially someone with shepherd knowledge. Remy is a pretty healthy boy and comes originally from a breeder so he has a long history of his health being monitored. If you are looking for a loyal, loving, sometimes timid or quiet pup..hes your guy! Remy would do well in a home with no other pets and an adults only household.  To ask about Remy, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.   _____     See what's new with our rescue including updates on our animals and upcoming events:    https://lnk.bio/redemptionroadinc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/R4inc/ Instagram: @redemptionroadinc Our trainer's Instagram:  @fullcircledogtrainer November 12, 2025, 11:48 pm

Story
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.  To ask about Frankie, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Betsy is one of those quietly wonderful dogs who often gets overlooked in a busy shelter environment. But once she’s in a calmer space, her true personality shines. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves nothing more than leaning against your legs for comfort and cuddles. Loud noises and barking can make her a bit anxious, and she may whine when things get overwhelming. But give her a quiet home, a soft place to rest, and a caring person by her side, and Betsy blossoms into the most loving companion. She adores sitting close, soaking up gentle pets, and sharing peaceful moments with her person. Betsy is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and gives her heart fully. She’s tender, loyal, and ready to thrive in a calm home where she can feel safe and loved. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive girl who will lean in, literally and emotionally, Betsy just might be your perfect match.
