Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue

Here is K9 Teeko the night he got to his forever home, with the human that would be his partner and the other humans he would call his family. The look on his face of being content but slightly confused has since turned into one of confidence and joy as he now does what he was born to do working with the Roachdale Police Department. Like many scared dogs, they can sometimes not present the greatest in their kennel, and being scared Teeko would have been hard to get a home for. Thankfully the good folks at the Hendricks County Animal Shelter knew he was meant for a purpose and helped get him into our program.

If you want to help more shelter dogs like K9 Teeko here find their purpose, find their family and keep their communities safer please join us Wednesday Nov 5 at 6:30 PM at the Club 361 Police and Fire football game at the Plainfield High School! Hope to see you there!

Being a police dog is all about balance- here we see K9 Minna getting some air time while practicing finding drugs. On the other side of that coin she also makes sure she gets plenty of beauty rest with her dad between shifts.From being on death row with just a few days left to live to now being a deputy, we love this little girl with a compact body, but a major personality! Good girl Minna, you make your shelter family super proud!

K9 Gunner of the Greencastle City Police Department Indiana got his photo in the yearbook! He frequently works alongside his handler patrolling the schools of his town where, due to his sweet nature and goofy personality, he has become an icon and is loved by the students there. Such a handsome boy – and to think he started his life living on the streets of Plainfield in the winter where he had no hope to now being a hero to a lot of tiny humans. Good boy Gunner, we love seeing you thrive!

Here’s a day brightener- K9 Kilo update! He is almost fully recovered, strong, and walking beside the family who loves him. Tail wagging. Eyes bright. Whole again.

Some moments stop you in your tracks. The kind that make you forget the world for a second, smile and realize how much you have to be grateful for. This is one of those moments.

Not long ago, he was fighting for his life. Having been close to being “just another pound dog” that was put down. Rescued in the nick of time, he excelled in our program and hit the jackpot with his family. Then came the devastating news about his health condition. To say this dog has faced challenge after challenge in his life is an understatement. And then—something incredible happened.

You showed up. You gave. You believed. And now look at him.
Running through the sunlight and grass like nothing ever tried to break him.

Every donation, every prayer, every person who refused to give up on this dog — this is what you made possible. You didn’t just help him survive…You gave him his life back.

The video below isn’t just a dog playing or walking with his family. It’s proof that compassion wins. It’s the living, breathing result of what happens when good people refuse to look away.

Thank you for giving Kilo his miracle. Thank you for believing in what we do, and in what’s possible when people fight for the forgotten.

If you’re able please help thHendricks County Animal Shelterer and their need for puppy food, it would be greatly appreciated! To date 5 of our dogs started their “shelter to shield” journey at this shelter, and the staff there is amazing. These poor babies had to start life at an animal shelter, they shouldn’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from!

***UPDATE—You cleared our list! Pups will be well fed for quite a while. Thank you!!***

Can you help us feed our youngest pups?🥹🐾
Currently we have several dogs eating puppy food, and we just opened our last bag. If you are able to help us restock our supply of dry puppy food, we would be very appreciative!
