Story
Good morning miss Max! You smile though your eyes have seen some hard times. You trust though your past should say otherwise. This darling girl has not yet in her life found a soft place to land. She is still trying to make her way in this life that shows little mercy. Max find herself now at the Mchenry Animal Control, waiting her turn to leave with a happy beginning or her turn to potentially be put down for space. Max came from an unstable environment, and her previous owners are actually facing criminal charges for a variety of reasons. Where is her justice, her peace? That only arrives for Max when she can walk out of animal control and into the home of a loving family. This girl is sweet, loving, playful, cheerful despite it all, she enjoys humans very much. At this time Max is not showing signs of being the most dog friendly and after months of being in animal control she is less tolerant of those interactions. She was living with her sister for a while and they got along until the time at animal control became drawn out. We, being a training-based rescue will sponsor free training through our professional trainers to any adopter that will take her home. Max has a great opportunity to learn under a professional in the home of someone hat wants the commitment to this girl. The training will be in your home as well. All custom to her needs and her tools will be provide free of charge.  Max is a strong girl and still learning some manners, so we suggest a home with older children. She can learn to socialize better with animals in a calmer environment but we do suggest at this time she be an only pet. If you are interested, please reach out this girl needs you! Contact us today to meet this remarkable dog by calling us at 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
Meet this beautiful bully named sugar. She is a loyal, playful, jiggly girl. Sugar was originally from a breeder. She has a beautiful build and is in great health, she finds herself currently looking for a new loan due to life changes in her previous owners path. Sugar was not socialized very well with other animals, but loves people very much. She would do great in a home as an only pet. Sugar likes people of all ages and lived with children. Where she grew up, she was a puppy and had lived with a dog that constantly went aggressively after her, and she eventually stood up for herself when she realized how big she had become. This led to inevitable Hazards with having both dogs together, especially around small children, and that is why she is currently being rehomed. The original older dog was the aggressor, but due to having lived through this experience, she is quite cautious around other dogs and really we believe with drive in a home without other pets..   Sugar is a good listener and has some basic training under her belt. She would be a great companion for long walks and would fill your heart with a lot of joy. Just spending quality time with her. If you’re looking for a lovely bully breed, she’s your girl.    Contact us to learn more by calling us at  847-338-3252  or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Indie is a 2.5-year-old social butterfly who loves making friends with just about anyone — whether they have two legs, four legs, or even whiskers. At home, she sometimes gives off lovable “annoying little sister” energy, happily chasing the cats up their tree before acting completely heartbroken when they refuse to play. She’s also been known to sneak off with her best buddy’s favorite toy the second he looks away, proudly trotting off with her prize. When she’s not trying to convince her housemates to join in the fun, Indie is hard at work showing off her skills. She knows sit and stay, and she’s both house-trained and crate-trained. Despite weighing 45 pounds, she firmly believes she’s lap-sized and will happily squeeze herself onto any available lap. She’ll also sit patiently nearby while you cook dinner, quietly hoping for a dropped scrap or two. Indie absolutely adores people, though she hasn’t had exposure to small children yet. For now, she would do best with older, respectful kids who understand her playful nature. Outside the home, Indie loves going for walks and would make an amazing adventure companion. Extra bonus points if you enjoy swimming — she may not be the most graceful swimmer, but this girl absolutely lives for splashing around in the water!   To ask about Indie, 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  May 12, 2026, 3:14 pm

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

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Cobain! At just over two years old and around 70 pounds, this handsome hunk is smart, mischievous, playful, and loving—a true toddler in canine form. Cobain came to us as a rough-around-the-edges pup with zero manners and zero direction. But with time, training, and consistency, he has transformed into an incredible companion. He’s now housebroken, crate-trained, a leash-walking all-star, and continues to learn new things every day. This boy greets people happily, though he’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground. Cobain can also be a bit of a roughhouser during playtime, so he’s best suited for a home with older, dog-savvy kids who can handle his goofy puppy antics. Outside the home, Cobain is an adventure dog at heart. He loves to explore and would make an amazing hiking or camping buddy. Cobain is dog-friendly, but like many pups, he can become scared or overwhelmed in big groups. One-on-one, however, he shines—especially with slow introductions. He plays well with other dogs (especially females) and would thrive in a home with a laid-back canine companion and a fenced-in yard where they can romp and chase each other.  If you think Cobain might be the perfect addition to your family, reach out to schedule a private meet & greet with him today! To ask about Cobain, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet our precious little all-star Freya. This young pup is full of spunk, bounce, playfulness and wonder. She is a friendly girl that gets along wonderfully with people of all ages. She is learning her manners, crate training, learning some leash skills and exploring her social skills with doggy pals. Freya is higher energy, needs to have access to some chew toys and needs regular exercise. She might end up being a pretty big dog so all interested should be prepared for a dog that could end up being 60# or larger.  Freya gets along well with other dogs and is learning her way around the social dynamics. Sometimes she gets busy with stick chewing hobbies and sometimes she can be a little overbearing with smaller pups. She takes direction well and is shaping into a smart little cookie. Freya should go to a home with pitbull, bully, dogo experience but her attitude is great so she would be a fine first time of those breeds owner pup. Freya does not mind cats and could live with a dog housemate that can tolerate a strong willed, even a little dominant personality girl.  Contact us directly for more info!
