My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Vaughn is our longest term pup - an introverted extrovert that came to us almost three years ago in VERY rough shape. When he arrived he was skin and bones and terrified of the world. He would guard his food from other dogs and wouldn't let strangers approach him. With a lot of patience and work - this boy has made a complete turnaround!

Vaughn is still a little shy with strangers, but after a quick sniff and a treat he's your best friend. In the home, this 70 pound pup thinks he's a lap dog and is always trying to curl up next to you. He currently lives with multiple small dogs and is doing very well - but will definitely chase a cat if given the opportunity (that's the hound in him).

He loves to play with other dogs... but prefers calmer personalities that won't try to bully him. Vaughn is sweet and playful with the reserved disposition that middle age brings. A pup that LOVES his walks, but only half as much as he loves his naps.

He's got a smidge of cattle dog in him as well and tends to be a bit mouthier and will herd his friends when he plays so an adult only home or a home with kids over 12 would be ideal.

If you think our little wallflower sounds like the dog for you, please contact his trainer (Kseniya) today at 847.338.3252 or info@redemptionroadinc.org to schedule your private meet and greet. You won't regret it!

More about this rescue

Rescue, Retrain, Redeem, and Re-home.
Redemption Road Rescue Rehab Inc (aka R4) is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization based in Lake County, Illinois. R4 functions as an all-breed and ages, dog and cat rescue that specializes in behavioral training and rehabilitation. We are a professionally operated nonprofit dog and cat rescue run by certified dog trainers. We believe the solution to “difficult” animals cannot just be euthanasia. Our mission is to place dogs and cats that have undergone our rehabilitation program with responsible, reliable, and devoted owners. Our training specialty is centered in dog behaviors and understanding the canine mind. We take in all breeds, all ages and work with domesticated felines and feral cat colonies as well. Our expectations of adopters: 1- Consider the animal as an individual with their own personality and behaviors. 2- Be willing to learn, ask questions, and implement training into their daily routine. 3- Work alongside our team to prepare their home to provide the best environment for their new family member. R4 is 100% volunteer-run and foster-based and relies on donations, fundraisers, grants, and sponsorships to allow our organization to fulfill our mission to animals in need.
