Say hello to Gigi! This adorable peach is bursting with love for people and isn't shy about showing it. With her perfect mix of snuggles and sass, she's ready to bring her special brand of enthusiasm to your home! Gigi thrives in an active household that can match her energy and provide consistent training. While she's definitely the "queen of the castle" type, she gets along wonderfully with more laid-back dogs who don't mind her being the boss. This spunky lady would do best with older, sturdier kids who can handle her boisterous play style. And quick note: Gigi has officially declared cats not on her friend list! The perfect home for this good girl will give her plenty of activity, consistent boundaries, and all the love her big heart deserves. Ready for a dog that's equal parts spirited and sweetness? Come meet Gigi today!  To ask about Gigi, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Looking for a ball-chasing, tail-wagging buddy who thinks every day is the BEST DAY EVER? Meet Sledge! This 2-year-old black and white cutie is a silly bundle of happiness who will do anything for a treat—he can catch them! Sledge gets excited. Like, REALLY excited. Just give him a few seconds and he settles down (until the next exciting thing happens, of course!). This happy monkey is very interested in other dogs and definitely wants to play! He's also pretty curious about cats. With his strength and enthusiasm, Sledge would fit best with older kids who won't get knocked over by his "OMG HI!" welcome dances. Sledge is that perfect mix of hilarious and loving – the kind of dog who'll make you laugh daily while also being your most loyal sidekick. Sledge is looking for a family who appreciates his zest for life and will help him channel all that awesome energy with plenty of exercise and playtime, while providing training and consistent guidance. Trust us, when you see that big, happy smile, you’ll know this goofy boy is worth every minute of it!

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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 needs someone to pay attention, respond to his special needs at this point. He is being rehomed because of his changes in behavior that I cannot manage.
