Story
Meet Nero, a magnificent 2.5 year-old male German Shepherd in search of his forever home. This handsome boy, a purebred from the Czech Republic, boasts a striking  black coat that gleams in the sunlight. Nero is a large, powerful dog in his prime, with a heart to match his impressive stature, eager to find a family he can shower with love and protection. At his young adult age, Nero has the perfect blend of youthful energy and emerging maturity. His personality is a delightful mix of sweetness and playfulness, typical of a shepherd entering his prime years. He thrives on human companionship, always eager to be by your side and partake in family activities. His affectionate nature truly shines once he's comfortable, rewarding his chosen person with unwavering loyalty and a breathtaking smile that will melt your heart. Nero isn't shy about expressing himself either – expect some endearing whines and vocalizations as he communicates his love for you. While Nero likes other dogs, he can be a bit selective on their personalities. He could do well in a home with another dog if they're compatible. He should not be with cats, though.   Despite his young age, Nero has already mastered some important skills that will make his transition to a new home smoother. He's crate-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is even muzzle-trained for situations that might require it.  Nero needs an experienced owner who understands the breed and can provide consistent training and guidance.  He has the protective instincts of a typical German Shepherd, and potential adopters should be willing to work with a reactive dog.  Nero needs a patient owner who can help him navigate new experiences and continue his training to ensure he becomes the best version of himself. The ideal home for Nero would be with adults only, preferably with previous German Shepherd experience. He needs a family who understands his need for mental and physical stimulation, as well as his protective nature.  If you're ready to welcome a loyal, loving companion into your life and are prepared for the responsibility of owning a large, intelligent breed in his prime years, Nero might be the perfect match for you. Are you ready to give this handsome boy the loving forever home he deserves and grow together for years to come? To ask about Nero, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Welcome the “T” Litter. These are sweet Momma Tobi’s perfect babies. There are 3 boys and 3 girls and all look a whole lot alike. (So if you ask if ones a boy or girl I probably wont be positive, I try!) They are 4 months old and doing so so amazing. They are active, playful, happy puppies. So far they love everything. Especially food and toys. They definitely will not be little dogs and will require a lot of attention, activities, and training. Mom is a pure bred german shepherd and we are told (not confirmed) dad was a doberman.

Story
Born: November 13, 2023 I'm 55lbs, and I am seeking my forever home! Adoption Donation: $450 Meet Cupid! This handsome one-year-old pup is looking for his forever home. Despite facing challenges early in life, Cupid has shown incredible resilience. He was diagnosed with an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt but underwent a coiling procedure to improve his liver function and extend his life. Now, Cupid is a happy and thriving dog, ready to share his love and joy with a special family. Cupid is a smart boy who knows commands like "paw" and "sit." He’s making great progress with housetraining, currently about 80% of the way there. Sweet and affectionate, Cupid gets along well with kids and other dogs, making him a perfect addition to any loving home. Could Cupid’s arrow of love be destined for you?
