Story
Meet Bernie – A Shy Teddy Bear with a Heart of Gold If you’re looking for a gentle soul wrapped in soft fur, Bernie might just be your perfect match. This sweet boy can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a bit of time and patience, and you’ll soon discover his true personality — a warm, snuggly teddy bear who will happily melt into your heart. Once Bernie feels safe, his affectionate side shines. He adores quiet moments spent getting chin scritches, or simply lounging beside you as the world drifts by. Outside, Bernie’s happiest with his nose to the ground, taking in all the wonderful smells nature has to offer. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a sunny afternoon soaking up fresh air, Bernie finds joy in life’s peaceful moments. This clever pup already has excellent manners — he’s potty trained, crate trained, knows his name, and has solid leash skills. He’s also eager to learn and would love to continue growing with a patient family who enjoys gentle training sessions (and plenty of treats — he’s quite the cookie connoisseur!). Bernie would thrive in a calm, quiet home where he can take his time to settle in and feel secure. He’d also be perfectly happy sharing his space with a friendly canine companion who can show him the ropes. If you’re searching for a loyal friend who will reward your kindness with unconditional love and quiet companionship, Bernie is waiting to meet you. Bernie's Favorite Things: Treats: Jerky! Any kind will do, but soft chicken flavored jerky is his top pick Activity: Car rides Relaxation: Sniffy walks Cues Bernie Knows: Sit Down Touch Stay Come Heel Shake/Paw Crate-trained Bernie is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Bernie, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians. Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Bernie, while he waits for his forever home!

Story
Tootsey is happy trotting smushface. Talk about being greeted with a smile everyday when you come home. She is a love bug, she enjoys belly rubs and quality time. Toots girl was sadly left behind by an owner that passed from a car accident. She and her mother found shelter and safety with a foster that has tended to them for an extended period of time. This sweet girl is crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, is a friendly pup to all people. She is somewhat of a slug and little hippo. She enjoys laying around in heaps of fluff, eating yummy treats and bringing loving vibes to any home. Tootsey would love to live in a family but as an only dog or pet. She doesn’t do the best with other animals but is easy to control and would be more than happy to have a beautiful yard to herself.  Consider giving this girl that’s waited 2 long years a cozy spot on your couch.  To ask about Tootsey, please contact us directly by calling  847-338-3252  or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet Oreo – Your Perfect-Size Snuggle Buddy Who doesn’t love an Oreo? I’m Oreo, an 11-month-old, 43-pound bully mix from Texas, and I’m just the right size for your heart and your couch. I’m a curious, affectionate pup who loves to watch the world from the window—dogs, people, squirrels, you name it. I’m super food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a breeze, especially if treats are involved. I may take a second to figure out what you’re asking, but I always try my best to get it right. Physical touch is my love language—I’m a total Velcro dog who needs to be close to my people at all times. I adore snuggles, belly rubs, and go absolutely crazy for butt scratches. I’m playful, goofy, and love curling up next to you (or on you, if you’ll let me). In my foster home, I live with another dog and we get along great. We enjoyed running and playing together at the dog park. I’m fully potty trained and sleep soundly through the night in my crate without any accidents. I’m also good on a leash and enjoy going for walks. I’ve seen children at adoption events and have done well with them, but I don’t currently live with any. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and cuddly companion who will follow you everywhere and always be ready for snuggles, I might just be the perfect pup for you. I’m a great size and will easily fit in your home, on your lap, or right in the middle of a puppy pile. Could I be the Oreo your life is missing? Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). . It includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at our participating vets, age appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative,1st vet visit at one of our participating vets, and micro-chipping. We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family to approve an adoption. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed.

Story
Name: Fletcher Age: 2 years old, 4/4/2023 Weight: 65 lbs Meet Fletcher — Your Lovable Shadow with a Big Heart! Hi, I’m Fletcher, but my friends all call me Bubbas! I’m a 65-pound cuddlebug with a heart just as big as my body. I may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I do, I’ll be your loyal shadow — always nearby, always leaning in for love (literally…I really like to lean!). I’m fully potty trained and crate trained — though I do appreciate a treat or two to make crate time more appealing. I sleep in my foster’s bed at night and chill in my crate when they’re away. I’m a gentle, affectionate boy who’s a little skittish with loud noises, but I’ll find a safe spot (usually behind you or curled up in my bed) until things settle down. I’ve got a playful side too! I love my toys, though fetch isn’t my strong suit — I’m working on it. I’m not a huge fan of walks (they tire me out fast!), but give me a fenced yard and I’ll happily zoom around with my goofy energy. I walk well on a leash with just a bit of pulling, which I'm continuing to improve. I’ve been great with other dogs, cats, and even small critters in cages. Kids? I’ve met a few, and while I’m not quite sure about them yet (they can be a little loud and unpredictable), I might do well with older, calmer kids who understand I need gentle handling. The perfect home for me would be one that’s laid-back and full of love. I’d thrive with a family who doesn’t mind a constant companion and has a big yard for me to run and play in. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, loyal boy to be your sidekick, I might just be the perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? I can’t wait to find my forever family!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey there, I’m Dalilah! I’m a 64-pound Boxer mix, professional squirrel chaser, and part-time nap enthusiast. My puppies have all been adopted (you’re welcome, world), and now it’s my turn for a forever home! &#226&#156&#168 When I’m not running off squirrels and bunnies like the neighborhood security guard &#239&#184&#143, I’m usually lounging around looking adorable. I’m fully potty trained — zero accidents, 100% good girl. &#226&#156&#133 I love walks, tennis balls, and kids (especially the ones with snacks). I might borrow a stuffed animal or two… purely for emotional support, of course. Cats? Hard pass. They look suspiciously like bunnies, and I take my duties seriously. Car rides aren’t my fave — I prefer a cozy crate where I can grumble quietly about the traffic. Oh, and fun fact: I’m a surprisingly good swimmer! ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 (Baywatch who?) I get along with most dogs and promise to bring love, laughter, and a little chaos to your life — in the best way possible. So come on — take a chance on your new favorite girl! Apply at projecthopearf.org before I chase my next squirrel! Born 10/6/2022  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 30, 2025, 3:08 pm
