Story
This is Sable! We got her at 9.5 weeks. She had no shots and wasn’t dewormed. She came from a litter of 9! Her mom is a micro bully and her daddy is a classic. I have pictures of both. We got her shots, dewormed, nearly crated trained and she is almost potty trained. The only issue is our autistic son isn’t taking too well to her energy. She loves kids and other animals. She’s playful and fun. I have videos of her as well. For a bit extra I’d be willing send her brand new $100 crate, $125 in Kong toys, slow feed bowl, stainless bowl set with heavy base, extra blue buffalo food and treats, etc. She’s a very good girl. We just need to let her go as soon as we can. Our son is getting anxiety because of her and we don’t like having to keep them separated or her more confined.

Story
My name is Lucius and here is my story. I grew up loved and in a family. I spent my days learning how to be the best boy. One day I got a lovely baby sister. Her name is Thena. We got to enjoy being together every single day. We grew very attached to one another. As life happens we found our owners in a financial crisis. They put us into a boarding kennel and never came back for us. The owner of the kennel so generously is now holding onto us until we find a loving home. We have spent countless nights curled up together in our run. We listen to barking, panting and anxious dogs because that's what happens in kennels. The stress we feel is daily and yet we are beyond blessed to be together. Thena and I love each other and we love people! We would be an amazing addition to your home. We are playful, goofy, we are loving and want attention. Sure, I am a whiney shepherd but that's a given!   We want nothing more than a stable home where we can enjoy our older years and enrich your heart. We know we aren't spring chickens anymore but there's still a lot of miles left to drive.  I myself am around 8 years old and Thena is just a baby in my eyes, 6.5 years old. I am going to stand beside her always and hope we can stay together. Please consider blessing us with a safe home!

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.
