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.

Size

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

A few years ago, this sweet girl was found dumped along the fence of our rescue! She was skin and bones and needed immediate help, so we named her MayDay. Our best guess is she around 6 or 7 years old and a Great Dane/ Staffshire terrier mix. She is very gentle, loves people, and really enjoys car rides. Mayday gets along with males, but is not very playful with other dogs. She would do best as the only fur baby in the home. Since she has been a kennel dog her whole life, MayDay is not pot trained so she will need a family who understands that. This dear girl would love a chance to live out her days in the comfort of a home with a family who will love her! If you want to give MayDay that chance, find us at https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ to fill out an application or on facebook (tails of the forgotten paws)

Story

Max earned his nickname because once he trusts you—he absolutely melts into your arms. This handsome Great Dane came from the same neglect case as Mikayla and Ariella, part of a large group of Danes whose owner could no longer care for them due to health struggles. Max is shy but incredibly sweet, and he’s starting to show us glimpses of the loving, loyal companion he’s meant to be. He’ll need a calm, patient home with another friendly dog to help him feel safe and continue building confidence. If you’ve got a soft spot for gentle giants and the time to let Max blossom at his own pace, you just might be his perfect person.

Story

Say hello to Thor, our sweet, gentle giant who has captured the hearts of everyone at the shelter — and even stole the spotlight on ABC News! At 7 years old, this senior superstar is 162 pounds of pure cuddle and kindness. Thor may look mighty, but he's truly a softie at heart. He lives for the simple joys in life: long naps, head-to-toe snuggles, and the quiet comfort of being near someone who loves him. He’s incredibly affectionate with people and thrives on human companionship — the kind of dog who leans in for love and never wants to leave your side. While Thor prefers to be the only dog in the home (he wants all the attention, and honestly, he deserves it!), he’s okay with cats and wouldn’t mind sharing his space with a feline friend. Thor is longing to spend his golden years in a calm, loving home where he can trade in his shelter kennel for a cozy couch, and where he can soak up all the love and affection he so freely gives. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who just wants to be your big cuddle buddy, Thor is your guy. Come meet this amazing boy today and give him the forever home he’s been dreaming of.

Story

Meet Marvin! Marvin is a sweet senior who recently came to us after his owner faced mental health challenges and could no longer care for him. Despite all the change, Marvin has remained the mellow, calm, and easygoing guy he’s always been. He arrived with his buddy Watson, and the two have quite the story—they were living in the actual North Pole before moving in temporarily with the owner's local family. Through it all, Marvin has stayed true to his personality: chill, quiet at home, and full of love. Fun fact: Marvin lives for Costco croissants. They’re his absolute favorite treat! If you’re looking for a gentle soul to share your home (and maybe your baked goods), Marvin might just be your perfect match.
