Story

Hello! My name is Ernie and I am looking for a furever person or couple who understands me and that until I came to my foster mom’s house I had never lived in a home before. Where I came from there were many, many dogs around- I can’t count so I have to take the human’s word that it was close to 60 other pups. When the people who rescued me found me I had been living in a shed. So I am still working hard at learning all sorts of new homelife a social skills and am a work in progress. The nice rescue people don’t know how much socialization I had before I came to them, but I can be fearful of new people, so a quiet home with no kids would be PERFECT! And speaking of perfect, while people are scary to me, other dogs and cats are great! So another dog to show me the ropes I love to chew on bully sticks, play with toys and run a round the yard. A fenced in yard is also a must, as I get a little too overwhelmed at the idea of walks and STILL won’t let my foster mom put a harness on me. I will need someone to help me look my best by getting me groomed! With a lot of love and patience, I will warm up to you and want to get as many CUDDLES as possible!  Kisses and cuddles-Ernie

Story

Meet Ronnie, a quirky, goofy little guy with a heart full of love just waiting to be shared! Ronnie is a vocal fella who’s not shy about letting you know he’s there—especially when he wants head or booty scratches! He’s a bit of a character with a cute, funny walk, but it only adds to his charm. He’s crate-trained, getting better on a leash, and loves his toys, bones, and warm blankets to curl up in. Ronnie is looking for someone patient who’s ready to take the time to earn his trust. While he may take a little time to warm up to new people, once he does, he’ll show how much love he has to give. Once he's comfortable, he also loves to be carried . Ronnie is very food-motivated and enjoys training. He’s on his way to becoming a pro at housebreaking. He’s great with cats and likes dogs, too, though he can be a little feisty around bigger dogs. He’d do best in a home with older, considerate children. He's looking for a family who will help him build his confidence. In return, Ronnie will reward you with affection, loyalty, and plenty of adorable quirks. To ask about Ronnie, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Italian the 5.5 year old Shih Tzu is the definition of chill. He loves to lounge, watch TV, and lay in his bed or on blankets. He's just a happy little potato of a guy, weighing in at about 14 pounds. He seems to like other dogs and wags his tail at new human friends, followed by giving them lots of kisses. His preferred location is with the humans, but he will spend time in his pen without protest. He's working on potty training, but can be trusted with free roam even though he hasn't quite gotten the hang of doing his business outside. He's very eager to please humans, always proud of himself when he realizes he did something right! He hops around and dances with excitement when he's praised for going potty outside, so his continued training should be a breeze. Italian loves a good belly rub, and will flop over for pets any chance he gets. He's fine being alone, but always thrilled to see his friends return. He will greet you with a wagging tail and fall right back in line by your side! We are sure he will make some family so happy, he's just a delight! This cool pup is ready to meet his people, so please apply if you'd like to add him to your home! Italian's adoption fee is $625

Story

Charles is a calm, gentle soul with a heart full of love and a strong appreciation for the simple things in life—like naps, short walks, and long snuggles on the couch. This well-behaved, laid-back gentleman was sadly found in an abandoned home, but you’d never guess it by the way he lights up around people he trusts. He’s loyal, friendly, and has excellent manners—fully housebroken, good with children, and even gets along well with cats. Charles prefers a peaceful home and isn’t a fan of hyper dogs who invade his space. He’s more into quiet companionship and cozy evenings than chaos and commotion. If you’re looking for a steady, sweet, snuggle-loving buddy to share your couch and your heart, Charles might just be the perfect match.

Story

Tobey has now been living with his foster family for over three months. Although he had a rough beginning, he has now settled in and has become the most loving member of the family. When he arrived, he was nervous around his foster dad. Over time, his foster dad worked to earn Tobey's trust and it paid off! Strict boundaries were set, and Tobey's foster dad took over feedings and spent more time with him. This allowed him to establish himself as the pack leader and for Tobey to learn his role within the family unit.Tobey understands the house rules and knows where he stands in the pack, and these clear boundaries helped his confidence so much within the house. Now he is all cuddles and kisses, and he is the first one to greet his foster family when they arrive. He is always on the lookout for a lap to lay on and gives the best hugs! He plays well with toys and the other dogs in the house.Tobey can be a little protective when new people come to the house, and his foster mom uses training tools to ensure that the guests feel welcome and to ensure that Tobey doesn't feel like he needs to protect them. Tobey is a GREAT dog - so cuddly and sweet... and he also needs an experienced owner who will continue the training established and keep boundaries in place for Tobey to be the goodest boy that he is in his foster home.He would do best in a quiest home without young children. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly dog who will blossom in a structured environment, Tobey Maguire could be the perfect fit for you!
