Story
Appa is a 2-year-old Johnson-type American Bulldog, born April 1, 2023. Appa is goofy, playful, energetic, and affectionate once he’s comfortable. He can be skittish in new environments and benefits from patience and consistency while adjusting. He has a strong prey drive and cannot live with small animals, cats, birds, or small dogs. He may do best with dogs his size or larger following proper introductions. He has done well around children. Appa requires an experienced adopter familiar with strong, working-type breeds. He is intelligent but stubborn and would benefit from structured training and clear boundaries. Appa has one documented bite incident in a high-stress situation and has not bitten again. Because of this, he needs an adult, experienced home that understands dog behavior and management. We are seeking a new home because our household can no longer meet his needs safely or appropriately. Our goal is to place Appa in an environment where he can succeed long-term.

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
Big Mac 🐶🍔 At 10 years old, Big Mac is a gentle soul with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for love. This sweet senior pitbull came to us from CACC, and he’s more than ready to leave shelter life behind for good. Big Mac has clearly lived a life full of stories—some of them hard—but he’s not letting that hold him back. He’s soaking up every bit of kindness and comfort we give him, and he’s patiently waiting for that special someone who will see the beauty in giving a senior dog a second chance. He does have a mass that will need to be monitored, but he’s feeling good and has so much love left to give. Big Mac is calm, affectionate, and would thrive in a quiet home where he can rest easy and be treated like the loyal companion he is. Give this good boy the golden years he deserves. Big Mac is ready to be someone’s everything. ❤️🏡

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
“ Pebbles was the absolute best weekend foster! Upon her arrival, she got a warm bath (even let us trim her nails), confidently explored her surroundings, and figured out the stairs within minutes. Throughout the weekend, she wanted nothing more than to play with our older dog, who was not as excited to share his space (I suspect that she would do beautifully with another energetic dog). She wants to be close to her people, and when she is done playing, she will snore on the couch as her battery recharges. She loves her meals and takes medications easily (toys and bones are her love language). House training is a work in progress, but she is very treat motivated. She was quiet (never barked!), and her crate was immaculate. She would likely enjoy walks outside, but we did not make it far due to weather conditions. This girl is a gem, and who can resist those ears?”
