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.

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.

Born: March 26, 2025 I'm 53 lbs., and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $500 Indigo is as special as her name — with a beautifully unique coat pattern that makes her stand out in any crowd. But it’s her personality that really shines. This sweet, bouncy girl is full of love and happy energy. She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy, but she’s just as content being your one-and-only best friend. Indigo loves playtime and zoomies, yet she also has a soft, cuddly side and is more than happy to snuggle up when the fun winds down. She’s wonderful with kids and has a gentle, loving nature that makes her a great family companion. Whether it’s backyard games, neighborhood walks, or cozy evenings on the couch, Indigo is ready to be right by your side. If you’re looking for a playful pup with a big heart and an even bigger cuddle game, Indigo might just be your perfect match All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption.
