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
Get a load of this work of art! Meet Ardy; he is that once-in-a-lifetime type of dog you can`t forget! He has a very striking appearance: bug-eyed, paired with a crooked smile you won`t be able to contain your laughter when you see him. But don`t laugh for too long—he has a sass mouth and a nasty side eye! Ardy walks great on a leash and he gets along well with other dogs, though he is a little socially awkward and mostly stares rather than trying to play. He is more of a people kind of dog, taking pets and giving kisses to everyone he meets. If you`re looking for a best friend who will keep you entertained with his quirky personality and unwavering devotion, Ardy is your guy.Call Helping Paws and come meet this handsome, one-of-a-kind boy!

Story
Hello! My name`s Putter from the golf litter! I was adopted as a puppy and returned to the shelter at 6 years old in May 2023 when my humans had a baby. I`m looking for a nice cozy home to retire in! I am an American Bulldog/Retriever mix weighing around 62lbs. I am a sweet, smart dog who is considered medium/low energy. My favorite things include cuddling, car rides, walks, and playtime! Everyone tells me that I`m the goofiest dog in the rescue and everyone adores my play growl, play hops, and play bows! I`m also told that I walk fantastic on a leash and have wonderful manners where I don`t pull. I know to do my business outside and will even sit by the door to alert my owners that I need to go. I don`t mind the crate and I can be trusted outside of the crate as well. I don`t chew up stuff I`m not supposed to either! I also know basic commands such as sit, paw, other paw, lay down, and roll over!I’ve been working on my socializing skills & can do good around kids in public, but I’d prefer my forever home with older or no kids since their rambunctious energy can still make me nervous. I also wasn`t properly socialized with other dogs growing up so I need to go to a home where I`m the only pet. No cats for me.You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JrsPupsNStuffInc Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $300All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.
