Story
Sasha how are you holding up? You are lonely and worried aren't you girl...the people you trusted to keep you safe all seem to drop you. Time and time again she is handed off like a baton only never making it to the finish line. Sasha is a big girl, she is strong, she is also timid even shy and needs to build her confidence. Sasha was living with a family that really didn't care for teaching her, training her, they just brought her up like a weed and when she was no longer convenient, they dropped her at a kill shelter. She struggled in the overcrowded environment, and the shelter let the previous owner know they will be putting her down, through some miracle she was given to another owner. This person got lost on their path and during her stay with this individual she was nervous, mishandled and sometimes mistreated. Sasha is like all of us, trying to phone home. Where exactly is that place. Sasha walks nicely on a leash and despite her confusing start to life-she loves taking direction from people. Sasha has a protective streak and will bond to her main person or people. She will honor you and will enjoy the guidance for many years to come. Sasha seems interested in people even kids but still needs to build her social skills. She was polite around a child and didn't try to get over to the child in any of setting manner. Sasha is like many dogs that end up in the rescue system undertrained, under loved, misguided and in need of structure and care. This girl needs some real TLC and a real shot at a true family. We are still learning how Sasha gets along with animals but will know real soon after we assess. To ask about Sasha, please contact us directly by calling  847-338-3252   or emailing  info@redemptionroadinc.org .      March 13, 2026, 11:26 am

Ved (DOB 6/13/24) was found dumped with two of his besties. Fortunately, they wandered onto our rescue so Ved and his buds are safe and have a chance at a forever home! Could that home be with you? Ved is your typical curious playful guy. He is loving playtime with the other pups at our rescue, but more than anything wants a home to call his own with a comfy sofa and human to snuggle up with at night. If you’re ready for the best adventure buddy and sweet puppy to train to be your bestest best friend, look no further than Ved! Ved has the biggest heart and is such a LOVER! We love his sleek black coat with beautiful white patch and grey toes! It looks like this charmer is in a tux, so he is always looking his best for you. We recommend a home for Ved with kids over the age of 12 and a yard with a privacy fence. Fill out an app on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ to adopt Ved!

Truman

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 7 mos
Lake In The Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Truman Breed: Pit Bull / Labrador Retriever Mix Gender: Male DOB: 8/11/24 One look into Truman’s stunning light-colored eyes and it’s all over — you will be completely smitten. This handsome, charismatic Pit Bull/Lab mix is as smart as he is good-looking, and he is absolutely ready to find the family he deserves. Truman comes with an impressive résumé for a boy his age. He already knows sit, stay, crate, and is actively working on leave it. He is fully potty and crate trained, and he will even bark or ring a bell to let you know when he needs to go out — or when he is ready for a snack or a water refill. Communication is one of his strengths, and he takes it very seriously. When it comes to energy, Truman has found his perfect balance. He is an active, playful guy who loves walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and exploring the great outdoors — fair warning, he may pull if a squirrel or rabbit crosses his path, because some things are simply irresistible. But when the adventure is over, Truman transforms into the ultimate couch companion. He loves nothing more than curling up beside his people for a good snuggle session, and he has been known to claim the role of big spoon. He is a fan of hard chew toys — stuffed toys, beware — and his absolute favorite enrichment treat is a Kong stuffed with yogurt and strawberries. A dog who knows what he likes! Truman gets along well with other dogs after proper introductions and has learned his place in the pack. He is curious about cats but won’t hurt them; however, a home without small kittens would be ideal, as they tend to bring out those classic squirrel-chasing instincts. Truman is a big boy with a big heart who still has a few endearing puppy tendencies — a little mouthiness here, the occasional blanket corner sneak chew there — but he is eager to please and genuinely loves to learn. Because of his size and energy, he would do best in a home with children aged 12 and up. If you are looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, active, and cozy all at once — a loyal, loving, fun-spirited companion who will throw himself into family life with everything he has — Truman is absolutely your guy.

Yosef

Labrador Retriever Border Collie

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Name: Yoseph Age: DOB 09-15-2025 Weight: Expected medium to large size Breed: Labrador Retriever / Border Collie Mix (best guess) Energy Level: Moderate (more calm and observant than typical puppy energy) Special Traits: Sensitive, gentle, reserved, dog-friendly Ideal Home: Patient, structured home willing to allow full decompression and give him the time he needs to build trust and thrive This sweet boy is one of those puppies who will quietly steal your heart… you just have to be willing to slow down long enough to see him. He came to us as part of an accidental litter from a young couple who had not spayed their dog. When we brought the puppies in, they were in very rough condition and needed several weeks of care before they were healthy enough to even begin their journey forward. From the very beginning, he was more reserved than his siblings. While the others gradually opened up, he has remained a more sensitive, cautious soul. And that’s not a flaw… that’s who he is. He is happy. He wags his tail, he watches you, he’s aware and engaged… but he is not a puppy who will run up and climb into your lap right away. He is still learning that people are safe, and that trust takes time. 🐾 Personality & Temperament He is a gentle, quiet, observant puppy who prefers to take things in at his own pace. He is not shut down, he is simply cautious. He gets along beautifully with other dogs, both male and female, and even does well with younger puppies. He coexists easily and naturally within a group. He just hasn’t fully built that human trust yet. 🐾 Compatibility Dogs: Yes - excellent with all dogs Cats: Unknown - no confirmed exposure Kids: 10+ recommended (younger children case-by-case with proper structure and guidance) 🐾 Training & Transition This is where it’s important to understand… He is not a “ready-made” puppy. He is a dog who will require patience, understanding, and a proper decompression period. He will need an adopter who is willing to bring him into their home and simply allow him to exist without pressure, no forcing interaction, no overwhelming him, no expectations for immediate affection. Just time. Dogs like him do not fail in homes… They BLOSSOM in the right environment. We have seen it time and time again over nearly 30 years. Given space, consistency, and a calm environment, dogs like him become deeply loyal, loving companions. It may take weeks… it may take a few months… But when they choose you, it’s something truly special. 🐾 Special Traits • Gentle, sensitive nature • Observant and thoughtful personality • Dog-friendly with all sizes and ages • Quiet and low-key compared to typical puppies 🐾 Ideal Home • Calm, patient household • Someone experienced or willing to follow guidance • Fully fenced yard required • No expectations for immediate interaction, must allow him to come around at his own pace • Commitment to proper decompression is non-negotiable This boy may not be the one who runs up to greet you first… But he is the one who will quietly choose you, in his own time, and when he does… it will mean everything. If you’re not just looking for a puppy… but for a dog you can truly make a difference for… He’s waiting.
