Story
Look deep into my eyes! There you will see a silly dog full of love. I think you’ve been waiting for me. I am kind, I am protective, I am fun and even eclectic. I enjoy music, quiet nights, I enjoy toys and playful wrestling. Treats make me happy, but not as happy as you. Dogs can be my friends, and I don’t mind cats, too. I wish to find my way along this journey, may it come to a fruitful end. I hope in my heart to find my forever best friend.  Sincerely,  Allie  Allie has tested well with cats She likes most dogs She's good with older kids, 13+ years of age   Up for adoption through Orphans of the Storm Animal Shelter Learning manners with Full Circle Dog Training  @fullcircledogtrainer To learn more, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet Marlo! This sweet girl comes across a tad timid when first she is approached, but warms up very quickly to any kind human, even a child. Marlo has a loving nature and strives to please her humans. She is quirky and very cute. Marlo loves to play with toys and even carries the little toy bin around at times. She has the ability to learn so much and be a lovely house pup.  Marlo has some stranger danger to work on, but her barks will always alert you to any possible intruder. Marlo was not socialized much with people as a puppy. She was abandoned with her three sisters in the Des Plaines area, and then spent four months in animal control, pretty much growing up in their custody. When Marlo made her way into our program, we saw what great potential she had. Marlo really enjoys being around other dogs. She plays in our pack playgroup often and has many friends. She does, however, do better with medium and large sized dogs.  She tends to jump on tiny dogs and therefore is best matched with dogs closer to her size. Marlo isn't too interested in cats, but might be better off in a home without them or with a very confident (dog-savvy) cat.   Marlo is currently learning how to walk nicely on a leash, has basic obedience and is also crate-trained. After patiently waiting months to be fully vetted and ready, this sweet girl is overjoyed to finally be available for adoption and can't wait to shower her new family with unconditional love and endless happy tail wags every single day. To learn more, please contact us by directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Lady Nala you gorgeous girl! She is around 6-years-old, fully vetted, chipped and up-to-date on vaccines. She loves attention, toys to play with, and a cozy home to lay her head down and relax in. Nala takes her time getting to know a new person, but warms up quickly and is all smiles afterwards.  Watch a video of this happy girl in action here: https://bit.ly/lady-nala-video Abandoned in boarding by an owner that never came back for them, Nala and brother Yeti spent a year living in at a kennel. Though they were fortunate to be loved and well cared for there, boarding can never replace a true forever home. Now, with Yeti recently adopted, it's sweet Nala's turn to find her perfect family! We are still getting to know Nala, but her personality is showing lots of smiles and sass! She's a spunky girl that struts when she walks and would make a fantastic hiking or camping partner. She loves chasing tennis balls, so an active family with a fenced in backyard would be ideal. With other dogs, she can be a tad bossy and independent, so a home where she is the only dog or a furry housemate that wouldn't mind her being in charge would be great. Either way, her big smile will brighten any home she enters!

Story
Ruby is a girl full of spunk, joy and wonder. This sweetheart enjoys being around people, getting cuddles and the great outdoors. Ruby was found roaming the streets by a kind-hearted individual. Thanks this compassionate soul, she now has an amazing foster home as well where she is warm, vetted and ready to go on to the next chapter of her life. Ruby tested well with cats and other dogs. She even seems friendly with small children. Ruby is a typical strong, loyal, loving, quick-to-learn, excitable bully. She is getting better on walks, and with practice, she will be amazing. Ruby’s ideal home would have some loving adults, maybe a kid or two over the age of 6 years old and possibly a pup or cat companion.  Ruby is looking for a loving home that will treat her as a member of the family, cherish her as their sweet girl and feed her good treats. In return she promises to potty outside, give plenty of kisses and love her family unconditionally.

Story
Meet Lilac, the lovable sweetheart with full of playful energy and affection! This friendly, outgoing girl is every bit the typical Siberian Husky - she loves to run, play, explore the great outdoors, and shower her favorite humans with loyal companionship. After enjoying life as a doting mom to her litter of pups, Lilac is now ready for her next grand adventure: finding her forever family! With her playful, people-loving personality, Lilac thrives on human interaction and quality time with her pack. At the rescue, we've been teaching this clever girl obedience, recall and crate-training to help set her up for success. She’s learning quickly and doing very well. Lilac has lived with children of all ages, and she adores them. She gets along great with medium to larger dogs and could happily live with a housemate of that size. However, her strong prey drive means cats and small furry friends are off-limits for this gorgeous girl. Lilac is a smart girl and an expert escape artist, so she's can't be left unattended in a yard.  She'll do great in an active home that is ready to provide her with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation as well as continue her training. Don't miss your chance to welcome this loving, loyal companion into your world. Lilac is ready to make your life exponentially more joyful, adventurous, and full of husky hugs! Contact us to schedule your private meet and greet today!

Story
Meet Vaughn - an introverted extrovert in canine form...  this handsome boy 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.   In the home, Vaughn is a complete gentleman - housebroken, crate trained, and knows all of his basic commands. A little shadow that will happily watch over his family.   A tad shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly.  When excited, however, he tends to be a little mouthier than most in his play style.  Because of this, we recommend a home with older children or a home with no children at all.   Vaughn likes dogs, but can be selective.  He has no problem sharing his food with his humans, but can guard his food bowl and treats from other dogs.  Because of this, we think he would be best as an only dog or with a family that can manage feeding him separately.  As for cats...  the Plott Hound in him would love to chase them all up a tree.   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.
