Story
Good morning miss Max! You smile though your eyes have seen some hard times. You trust though your past should say otherwise. This darling girl has not yet in her life found a soft place to land. She is still trying to make her way in this life that shows little mercy. Max find herself now at the Mchenry Animal Control, waiting her turn to leave with a happy beginning or her turn to potentially be put down for space. Max came from an unstable environment, and her previous owners are actually facing criminal charges for a variety of reasons. Where is her justice, her peace? That only arrives for Max when she can walk out of animal control and into the home of a loving family. This girl is sweet, loving, playful, cheerful despite it all, she enjoys humans very much. At this time Max is not showing signs of being the most dog friendly and after months of being in animal control she is less tolerant of those interactions. She was living with her sister for a while and they got along until the time at animal control became drawn out. We, being a training-based rescue will sponsor free training through our professional trainers to any adopter that will take her home. Max has a great opportunity to learn under a professional in the home of someone hat wants the commitment to this girl. The training will be in your home as well. All custom to her needs and her tools will be provide free of charge.  Max is a strong girl and still learning some manners, so we suggest a home with older children. She can learn to socialize better with animals in a calmer environment but we do suggest at this time she be an only pet. If you are interested, please reach out this girl needs you!

Story
Meet this beautiful bully named sugar. She is a loyal, playful, jiggly girl. Sugar was originally from a breeder. She has a beautiful build and is in great health, she finds herself currently looking for a new loan due to life changes in her previous owners path. Sugar was not socialized very well with other animals, but loves people very much. She would do great in a home as an only pet. Sugar likes people of all ages and lived with children. Where she grew up, she was a puppy and had lived with a dog that constantly went aggressively after her, and she eventually stood up for herself when she realized how big she had become. This led to inevitable Hazards with having both dogs together, especially around small children, and that is why she is currently being rehomed. The original older dog was the aggressor, but due to having lived through this experience, she is quite cautious around other dogs and really we believe with drive in a home without other pets..   Sugar is a good listener and has some basic training under her belt. She would be a great companion for long walks and would fill your heart with a lot of joy. Just spending quality time with her. If you’re looking for a lovely bully breed, she’s your girl.    Contact us to learn more by calling us at  847-338-3252  or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Hey there! I’m Cobain. I hear 70 lbs is the new lap-dog standard—what do you think? I’m a 2-year-old guy with a big heart, a love for adventure, and a slight reputation for being a bit mischievous (but hey, I keep things interesting!). My favorite things in life are long walks, exploring new places, and playing fetch until your arm gets tired. I’m already a total pro at the basics: I’m housebroken, crate-trained, and I won’t pull your arm off on our walks. Because I’m a big, strong, athletic guy who likes to play a bit rough-and-tumble, I'd love a home with a fenced yard and older kids who can keep up with my energy. If you have another goofy dog who loves to wrestle, we might just become best friends! Check out my favorite girl (GiGi). She's adoptable too!! Just please, no cats—I find them way too fun to chase up trees. Ready for a lifetime of adventures and plenty of post-playtime cuddles? Let’s make it official! To ask about Cobain, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Introducing Simba, our adorable big guy with an even bigger heart. This handsome boy is friendly, sweet, affectionate, and full of playful energy.  Simba is deaf, but that certainly doesn't slow him down. He embraces life to the fullest and approaches each day with enthusiasm and a happy spirit. He does have a naturally protective side, making him a loyal and devoted companion. Because Simba is deaf, he will thrive with an owner who has experience with his breed or someone who is committed to learning positive training techniques that cater to his needs. He is crate trained and is doing a great job continuing his obedience training while learning to walk nicely on a leash. Simba  loves spending time with people and is always ready for a game of fetch; playing ball is one of his favorite things. He  gets along well with most other dogs but would do best in a home without cats. He loves children; however, due to his large size and playful nature, a home with older kids would be the best fit. If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal, and affectionate best friend, Simba is ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and plenty of tennis ball adventures. Contact us to learn even more about this amazing guy.

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Puppy
Island Lake, IL

Story
Meet our precious little all-star, Freya! This young pup is the perfect mix of spunk, bounce, and wide-eyed wonder. Friendly to her core, she absolutely loves people of all ages. Freya is a smart cookie who is making great strides in her training. She’s currently working on her manners, mastering crate and leash skills, and learning the ropes of doggy socializing. Because she’s a higher-energy gal, she’ll thrive with regular exercise and a steady supply of good chew toys. She is growing fast and might end up being a big girl—potentially 60 lbs or more—so her future family should be ready for a big, lovable bundle of energy! Dog & Cat Compatibility: Freya gets along well with other dogs and takes direction beautifully. Because she is a strong-willed girl who can sometimes be a bit overbearing with smaller pups, she’d do best with a dog housemate who doesn't mind a confident personality. She also does not mind cats! Ideal Home: Experience with Bully breeds, Pitbulls, or Dogos is a major plus. However, because Freya has such a fantastic attitude and takes direction so well, she would also be a wonderful match for a first-time Bully-breed owner who is ready to commit to her training.   Call us at    847-338-3252    or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.  See what's new with our rescue including updates on our animals and upcoming events:    https://lnk.bio/redemptionroadinc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/R4inc/ Instagram: @redemptionroadinc Our trainer's Instagram:  @fullcircledogtrainer      August 16, 2026, 8:02 pm
