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

Bridgett is a beautiful 1-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a stunning white and tan coat and a personality that absolutely shines! This vibrant little lady brings sunshine wherever she goes—she’s full of playful energy and always ready for fun. Whether she’s chasing her favorite ball, romping around with toys, or prancing along on walks, Bridgett is all about adventure and joy. She LOVES being outside and takes in the world with wide-eyed excitement, sniffing every new scent and exploring every corner. Bridgett is also a total social butterfly—her tail goes into overdrive when she meets new people, and she adores soaking up attention and affection. Despite her puppy-like enthusiasm, Bridgett is potty trained and well-mannered, showing a lovely balance of spirit and sweetness. She’s the kind of pup who turns everyday moments into happy memories, and she’s ready to light up her forever home with love, laughter, and endless tail wags!

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!

Story
Copper is an energetic, spunky, and lovable pup who’s always ready for an adventure! This active boy thrives on long walks, endless games of fetch, and spending quality time with his people. He’s social and loves making new friends, though he’ll let you know with a bark if he’s unsure about something or someone new. Copper would be happiest in a home with active owners who can keep up with his love for exercise and playtime. He’s well-mannered, knows commands, and is excellent on a leash, making him a fantastic companion for outdoor adventures. Young, smart, and eager to please, Copper is the perfect mix of fun and affection. While he may have a heart full of love and energy, he can be a little nervous sometimes, and may nip if he feels overwhelmed. Because of this Copper will thrive in a calm environment, which is why he needs a home without small children that might not always understand his boundaries. If you’re looking for a playful, loyal, and intelligent dog to keep you moving and bring joy to your days, Copper may be your perfect match! Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

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.
