Redemption Road Rescue Rehab Inc (aka R4) is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization based in Lake County, Illinois. R4 functions as an all breed and ages, dog and cat rescue that specializes in behavioral training and rehabilitation. We are a professionally operated nonprofit dog and cat rescue run by certified dog trainers. We believe the solution to “difficult” animals cannot just be euthanasia. Our mission is to place dogs and cats that have undergone our rehabilitation program with responsible, reliable, and devoted owners. Our training specialty is centered in dog behaviors and understanding the canine mind. We take in all breeds, all ages and work with domesticated felines and feral cat colonies as well. Our expectations of adopters: 1- Consider the animal as an individual with their own personality and behaviors. 2- Be willing to learn, ask questions, and implement training into their daily routine. 3- Work alongside our team to prepare their home to provide the best environment for their new family member. R4 is 100% volunteer-run and foster-based and relies on donations, fundraisers, grants, and sponsorships to allow our organization to fulfill our mission to animals in need, so please consider donating today.

Two peas in a pod! Raccoon and Rabbit are the most loving, playful and full spirited girls. These two are found outside on a rainy crummy day full of fleas and worms. They are currently living a cosy life in a lovely foster home getting ready to find their family. Both girls get along great with other pets, cats and dogs. They absolutely love people. Can you see it now…. Both of them curled up on the warm couch next to you? I sure do. Contact us to learn more!

If you know anything about our Rescue, it should be our passion to help dogs that get stuck in perpetual boarding. This organisation was founded because there was a necessity to help dogs forgotten in boarding facilities. This was an actual problem when I was a young trainer working in different facilities. I kept coming across rescue dogs that were almost indefinitely stuck there. They were loved by the staff and they were safe, but I would come to find out that either an owner left them or even on more often occasions a rescue left them there. This became a personal goal to start a rescue and save those dogs. Tops Kennel, Tops Kennel , is on the other end of that agreement, they are caring for these dogs absolutely for free. It’s an extremely generous service and they do love dogs and want to do what’s best for this pair. Even at the expense it costs them to keep them in the kennel free of charge. Tops Kennel is a family owner local business and they need the support too, if you didn’t know how much they cared- trust me they do!

As the holiday season approaches I ask that you help share this post and if you are local to the Grayslake or Lake County area these two pups are nearby just waiting for a home. They will soon be hitting almost a year if not longer having lived in the kennel. Every morning and every night they hear the uproar of dogs that all eventually get to go home. Let’s make it happen for them.
Thena is a pitbull, female around the age of 6.
Lucius is a German Shepherd, male around the age of 7.5. Both dogs love each other very much and are great with people. They would be wonderful family Pets we have not cat tested them just yet but can upon request. Please share if you can let’s try our best to spring them loose this holiday season!

Yes it’s November and the dogs are still loving the lake! You tell them it’s ..too cold! We normally can get pretty far to the false season and still have the amazing opportunity to hang out by the lake. Our dogs get the wonderful experience of a calmer and quieter environment with a lot of outdoor exposure because of wonderful support and donations from our community. Please consider making a donation this holiday season even if it’s any word from $1 to $10. Every little bit truly counts. We have doubled our intake this year and we’ve had more medical cases than normal. We appreciate everyone and will do our best to continue the good work in our local communities.

Fun fact! Here’s a random dog that somebody left in my care and ghosted me. Not the most common thing, but definitely happens. Can’t say I haven’t been here before. Unfortunately it comes with the territory of taking care of animals sometimes people just leave them with you. So this boy will be joining the program. His name is Petey.

Yes, he is a jerk… sometimes and yes, he needs impulse control work. Who the hell is asking??? I guess everybody. This boy came to us especially crazy in the noggin, but I have to say he’s made quite the turnaround in the last few months. We will have more updates and information on him soon. I just wanted to introduce him as we are now all in welcome to your road to redemption. You are not alone, buddy.

Just a few updates directly from the mouth of the horse! Unfortunately, there’s always 1 million extra updates to add in so here’s what I could think of immediately in the moment that seems important. Also wanted to add in that we have a couple amazing soon to happen adoptions-don’t want to speak too soon would like to make sure those happen first. We also had the inevitable return of a kitty or two, it happens to all of us in Rescue. Aside from that though very positive things going on animals thriving and doing well. We are hoping to further make a difference in our community and the lives of everybody that we work with animals and people alike. Just wanna give a huge thank you to everybody who supports us and continues to do so. We love our community bless all of you take good care!

Monarch is such a sweet boy. He would love to be in a home with kids or he can get a lot of attention. He gets along with most cats, but does not like dogs. Can’t you imagine him curling up just like this in your lap?
Ask us about meeting Monarch today. He is currently featured at our PetSmart adoption center in the Gurnee area.
