Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue

From Shelter to Shield- We take shelter dogs and train them to be canine officers. We are a 501c3

Dogs that are overlooked are given a second chance and given the time, patience and training they need to excel as certified police canines.

Some people come into your life at exactly the right moment. This is Randy Hardin, owner of Hardin Heating and Cooling. He didn’t just write us a check — he gave us a chance. When Redemption Ranch was nothing more than a vision, Randy stood up and said, “I believe in what you’re doing.” Because of that first donation, we were able to launch our very first K9 class. Dogs that had been forgotten in shelters were given new purpose. Departments received loyal partners. And lives were changed forever.

Today, Randy gave again. Quietly. Humbly. Just like before. At Redemption Ranch, we give second chances — to dogs who had none left, and to handlers who need them most. And it all started with someone giving us one.

Thank you, Randy. Your belief lit the fire. Your support keeps it burning.

Just arrived- challenge coins! This coin isn’t just shiny — it’s sacred. It belongs to the dog who was thrown away. The one no one wanted. The one that sat behind a chain-link fence waiting for a second chance that never came… until we showed up. It belongs to the handler who saw something in him — not a problem, not a project, but a partner. This coin is the silent badge of everything we believe in.

That courage can be found in a kennel.
That loyalty can be pulled out of despair.
That a dog no one believed in can become the one every officer trusts with their life.

These will be handed out to our grads when they pass their final certs — not because they finished a program, but because they became something greater, together:
A team. A family. A purpose.

Our next recruit class starts next week- more lives saved, more hope for dogs who had none. Our foot is firmly on the gas and we have no plans of ever slowing down!

K9 Jocko would like to wish everyone a happy Independence Day! We especially want to thank the veterans who have worn this nations uniform and fought to make and keep this great nation free! Whether it’s a cookout with friends and family or attending a fireworks event, take a moment to reflect on how this the land of the free because of the brave!

K9 Gunner- once a stray surviving on scavenged scraps and puddle water to now being a full fledged police dog! On top of locating dangerous drugs K9 Gunner has another special- and self appointed function- as grill overwatch. He hasn’t blinked in 26 minutes! The burgers are medium, the tension is high and as soon as a hot dog falls off- he’s claiming it for evidence! Good boy Gunner

Check out this amazing photo of our first ever “Shelter to Shield” dog- Plainfield Police Department’s K9 Echo! From forgotten to fearless- this pocket rocket malinois has earned an incredible reputation on patrol and we love how much he loves his new life

We received an incredibly moving letter today from Jocko’s best friend at the dog park- Jessi. The letter in part read: “Last Thursday I took in an old clock to donate for parts. When the clock was set on the counter- it started ticking after decades of not working. Because you guys bring new life to battered, broken and discarded pups- we wanted you to have the money from the sale” Thank you so much to Jessi’s mom Marilyn for not only the gift but the reminder of why we started this in the first place. Shelter dogs are not broken, and when given the care and compassion they need- they can excel. See you at the dog park soon Jessi, and rest in peace to your dad and our good friend Don.

How amazing is this? The Madison County Sheriff’s Office had challenge coins made of K9 Minna- and on the back end is the “K9’s Promise” poem:
“My eyes are your eyes, to watch and protect you and yours.
My ears are your ears, To hear and detect evil minds in the dark.
My nose is your nose, To scent the invader of your domain
And so you may live, My life is also yours.”

Relationship goals- get someone who looks at you the way Tipton County Sheriff’s Office - Indiana’s K9 Lucky looks at her handler! A lot has been said about the bonds that handlers have with their partners, but our dogs bond deeply with their humans because they know what they were saved from, and you can see the gratitude here in the eyes! Good girl Lucky, we love that you love your new life!

K9 Casper got great seats to tonight’s watch party between two randoms and is ready to cheer on the Pacers tonight! When asked for comment he said “In 49 other states it’s just basketball, but this is Indiana!” While his statement may make us question everything we thought we knew about a dogs ability to have abstract thought or knowledge of US geography we can’t help but agree- good luck Pacers!

A huge congrats to K9 Newt, her human Officer Jellison and Cpl Groth for receiving the Indiana School Resource Officer of the year for their district! While keeping their students safe, to starting Club 361, to Newt providing untold number of children comfort during times of crisis- we think it is well earned for these SRO’s, the 2 legged and 4! From having been nearly starved to death to where she is now- K9 Newt is all smiles, and we love seeing the huge impact this little lady continues to make!

K9 Minna in action! Here she is doing a sweep of the jail ensuring that no contraband has been smuggled in to the Madison County Jail. Minna serves as both a visual deterrent and proactive resource for her agency. While on this sweep she did not locate any drugs, her handler says she did find a beef stick- which she was quite pleased with! From being days away from being put down to now keeping her community safe- she is a VERY good girl!

As part of the Plainfield Police Department’s Public Safety Day K9 Echo got to do multiple demonstrations of obedience and suspect apprehension for the crowd. We don’t know who was more thrilled- the audience or Echo! From having been dumped and rescued by the Hendricks County Animal Shelter to now having a fan club- K9 Echo has come a long way from that abandoned puppy no one wanted to now being a full fledged celebrity! Good boy Echo!
