Story
How to begin this story.. well I am a silly guy. I believe many myths to be true. No dog is too small for the job and no legs are too short, that includes my own stumpy legs. I look like a funny cross between a Jack Russel, maybe a Corgi and something Doodley all glued together. I call it handsome. Herbert is the name and when Im feeling spicy its, Herberto! I was a stray that found myself alone in a hospital run for weeks. Telling everyone to piss off and leave me alone, except for one lovely guy. He became my first real friend, my handler, my confidant. This young man brought me to Redemption! Where I am now learning even more about myself and this beautiful world around me. I enjoy nature, running through lake edges and streams. I dont mind getting my feet dirty or letting you rinse them off. I love fresh flowers growing in the grass and gardens, I love tearing the ground up with my swift little feet. If you arent paying attention ill spin in a circle and bounce right off of you! Funny to me, not so funny to the dog walkers. I am a typical terrier in many ways. I love to have fun, chase a ball for a moment, and nip dogs butts in play group. The terrier in me just squeals with joy at the thrill of the chase! My playmates..... ya not so much..they occasionally hand my butt back to me. I am a good sport though and can let most things go. Now with that being said; I crave a strong leader. Some one that isn't afraid to keep me on my toes, make sure I complete all my chores and stay on my best behavior. Its true that I push the envelope, but I promise I just wanna be a good boy...most of the time.  Herbert is a loving social boy that would do great in a home with another dog, he also doesn't mind cats and could live happily with older considerate children. Herbert walks nicely on a leash, is crate and potty trained, but still needs some work on sharing things he values. He has a slight spicy side that can be tamed with a good full routine and physical activity. He really is an amazing dog that would do best with an owner that has terrier experience. Please contact us to learn more about this silly goose! Contact us today to meet this remarkable dog. To ask about Herbert, please contact us directly by calling 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 March 7, 2026, 7:33 pm

Story
Kellie is a gentle, sweet girl who is just beginning her journey of learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She recently arrived from Kentucky and is still settling into her foster home, where her quiet, tender personality is starting to shine. Kellie would thrive in a calm, patient home with another confident and friendly dog who can show her the ropes and help build her confidence. She can be wary of men, loud sounds, and fast movements, and she may get skittish when she sees people while out on walks, often wanting to move away to feel safe. Because of this, she’s hoping for a quiet home with someone who can be around much of the time to help her continue to adjust at her own pace. While she’s still figuring out toys, Kellie already knows she loves cozy couch time and being close to her person. She also enjoys a good chew and relaxing near the people she trusts most. With patience, love, and a steady canine friend by her side, Kellie is sure to blossom into a devoted little companion. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2677153##

Story
Meet our absolutely adorable little Clover! This approximately 2-year-old 12 lb Jack/Rat TerrierDachshund mix may be a bit shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time and patience and youll discover her wonderfully sweet, smart and spunky personality. Once she trusts you, she becomes a loyal little companion who loves being near her people but also has an independent side as well. Shes a smart girl who is house trained and crate trained, and she walks very nicely on a leash. While she enjoys her walks after being comfortable in her new surroundings, she would absolutely love a home with a fenced yard where she can safely explore and stretch her little legs. One of her best qualities is her calm natureshes not a big barker and tends to be a quiet presence in the home. She does well with other dogs and could happily live with a canine companion, but she would also be perfectly content as the only dog soaking up all the love. Because she can be a bit timid, she would thrive best in a quiet, lower-activity home with patient adopters who will give her the time she needs to settle in and blossom. Once she feels safe, her playful terrier spirit and affectionate side really shine. She is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home will be important for her success. If youre looking for a gentle, loving little companion who will reward your patience with loyalty, sweetness, and a dash of terrier spunk, this precious girl might just be your perfect match.
