Story
JJ, AKA;Jack; he is 8 years old Is a very smart dog, trained to sit , lay, follow commands, He is on schedule and aware of schedule - he understands human words Loves attention, loves to have companion, loves walks. He was bottle-fed as baby had lots of love and attention. I was his only owner, He is getting up there in age and showing signs of it. He will still fetch ball and has spurts of energy, but not all the time. JJ recently has been experiencing some behavioral issues out of the blue, he forgets who we are when startled, he doesn’t know who we are until he visually sees us He gets aggressive at times, then snaps out of it. JJ needs a companion and a home without children, he may be ok with other dogs , he has been with our 2 others just fine and visits with family dogs. Fenced in yard, if not supervised He would be perfect for a one on one companion and watch over the house while owner is not home.

Male, Adult
Island Lake, IL

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Cobain! At just over two years old and around 70 pounds, this handsome hunk is smart, mischievous, playful, and loving—a true toddler in canine form. Cobain came to us as a rough-around-the-edges pup with zero manners and zero direction. But with time, training, and consistency, he has transformed into an incredible companion. He’s now housebroken, crate-trained, a leash-walking all-star, and continues to learn new things every day. This boy greets people happily, though he’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground. Cobain can also be a bit of a roughhouser during playtime, so he’s best suited for a home with older, dog-savvy kids who can handle his goofy puppy antics. Outside the home, Cobain is an adventure dog at heart. He loves to explore and would make an amazing hiking or camping buddy. Cobain is dog-friendly, but like many pups, he can become scared or overwhelmed in big groups. One-on-one, however, he shines—especially with slow introductions. He plays well with other dogs (especially females) and would thrive in a home with a laid-back canine companion and a fenced-in yard where they can romp and chase each other.  If you think Cobain might be the perfect addition to your family, reach out to schedule a private meet & greet with him today! To ask about Cobain, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet our precious little all-star Freya. This young pup is full of spunk, bounce, playfulness and wonder. She is a friendly girl that gets along wonderfully with people of all ages. She is learning her manners, crate training, learning some leash skills and exploring her social skills with doggy pals. Freya is higher energy, needs to have access to some chew toys and needs regular exercise. She might end up being a pretty big dog so all interested should be prepared for a dog that could end up being 60# or larger.  Freya gets along well with other dogs and is learning her way around the social dynamics. Sometimes she gets busy with stick chewing hobbies and sometimes she can be a little overbearing with smaller pups. She takes direction well and is shaping into a smart little cookie. Freya should go to a home with pitbull, bully, dogo experience but her attitude is great so she would be a fine first time of those breeds owner pup. Freya does not mind cats and could live with a dog housemate that can tolerate a strong willed, even a little dominant personality girl.  Contact us directly for more info!
