Story

I’ve been quite overwhelmed finding myself without a family at such a young age. Staff here is giving me extra loving and helping me get comfortable at my own speed. We spend time together and they let me climb in their lap. This makes me feel safe and loved. I know that soon I will find my bouncy happiness again. I’m ready to love again and be loved. Can I climb into your lap and just relax with you?

Story

Sasha how are you holding up? You are lonely and worried arent you girl...the people you trusted to keep you safe all seem to drop you. Time and time again she is handed off like a baton only never making it to the finish line. Sasha is a big girl, she is strong, she is also timid even shy and needs to build her confidence. Sasha was living with a family that really didnt care for teaching her, training her, they just brought her up like a weed and when she was no longer convenient, they dropped her at a kill shelter. She struggled in the overcrowded environment, and the shelter let the previous owner know they will be putting her down, through some miracle she was given to another owner. This person got lost on their path and during her stay with this individual she was nervous, mishandled and sometimes mistreated. Sasha is like all of us, trying to phone home. Where exactly is that place. Sasha walks nicely on a leash and despite her confusing start to life-she loves taking direction from people. Sasha has a protective streak and will bond to her main person or people. She will honor you and will enjoy the guidance for many years to come. Sasha seems interested in people even kids but still needs to build her social skills. She was polite around a child and didn't try to get over to the child in any of setting manner. Sasha is like many dogs that end up in the rescue system undertrained, underloved, misguided and in need of structure and care. This girl needs some real TLC and a real shot at a true family. We are still learning how Sasha gets along with animals but will know real soon after we assess. To ask about Sasha, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org . October 30, 2025, 3:18 pm

Bunny

Rhodesian Ridgeback/Labrador Retriever

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos

Northbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Hunny and Bunny recently found themselves at CACC after being surrendered due to housing issues, and now they’re searching for their forever home together. These two are as bonded as bonded comes—they truly thrive with each other by their side. ✨ About Hunny: The social butterfly of the pair, Hunny loves to give kisses, sit in laps, and seek out attention from her humans. She even cuddles her sister and sometimes likes to perch right on top of her, just to be close. Hunny’s affectionate, silly personality helps her sister feel safe. ✨ About Bunny: Bunny is the quieter, more reserved sister. She needs time to decompress and can be shy at first, but with Hunny by her side, she blossoms. She’s already learning that humans aren’t so scary, and her gentle spirit is beginning to shine through. These girls are a perfect match for a patient family willing to welcome them both. Hunny and Bunny will reward that love with endless snuggles, sisterly antics, and the heartwarming bond only a true pair can bring. If you’ve got room for two, Hunny and Bunny are ready to fill your home with double the love. 💕

Story

Hi! If your heart and home have room for a loving fur baby, please consider our foster Hunny — a 1½-year-old, 50-lb Rhodesian Ridgeback/Shepherd mix. Hunny is a sweet, affectionate, and playful girl who loves giving hugs and kisses. She’s great with both dogs and kids, and she’s incredibly smart, gentle, and eager to please. She recently joined the Halloween Pet Parade, where she met lots of new people and dogs — handling the crowd beautifully with her calm, friendly nature. This wonderful girl truly deserves a loving forever home where she can share all her joy and affection. 💕 📞 Contact Border Tails Rescue at 847-813-5774 or adopt@bordertailsrescue.org to learn more. I’ll be happy to arrange a walk-and-meet with Hunny so you can see just how special she is! 🐶

Story

Hi, I’m Chi, who was rescued from the streets of Qatar. I've got soft-boy charm! At first I’ll size you up like a seasoned diplomat, but once you’ve passed the sniff test (bonus points if you brought treats), I’m all in for cuddles and goofy play. I’m great with other dogs and kind humans, including kids, and I’ve been fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered—basically, I’m a gentleman in a tux. If you’re the type who respects a slow warm-up and then welcomes the most loyal sidekick you’ll ever meet, I’ve got your back (and your couch). I'm still in Qatar but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I can't wait to meet you!
