Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue

11/18/2025

We could use your help! Did you know that for a canine team to stay current in their certifications they have to get 16 hours of training a month, every month? Here we have K9’s Knox, Teeko, Chase and Casper practicing their final response and getting their reward ball.

We have amazing community partners that have opened their doors to us to train in real world places, and we are incredibly grateful for them. One of the things we really pride ourselves on is that our dogs graduate having worked in real world environments with real distractors, real odors, and can walk out of graduation into the field fully confident wherever they are deployed. Schools, churches and businesses have always been amazing to us to open their doors and let us borrow their venue for training.

If you have a building, or access to one, that might allow us to train in the evenings from time to time, we would really appreciate it. We are always looking for new places to train to keep it fresh for the pups and their handlers. If you are in Avon, Plainfield or Mooresville area and might be interested in helping us out, drop a comment below and let’s talk.

Thanks!

Here is a throwback photo of K9 Chase Bargersville Police Departmenttaken by the wonderful folks at Morgan County Humane Society. As we are gearing up for our next course and scouting dogs for agencies, we would really love to thank the people that work in animal welfare.

These folks go in day after day because they truly care about their animals. They spend time with them, they give them affection and show them that people can be trusted. They get their hearts broken time and again for their animals. When an adoption falls through, when the meet and greet cancels. But they keep going. They fight an unfair and uphill battle - but they go out and fight for their dogs to get forever homes no matter the heart break.

Chase has a home, a family and a purpose because his shelter family cared and reached out. This picture of him perfectly captures his goofy and fun loving personality and could only have been taken by someone that truly gave a damn. As we gear up and save more dogs lives together, we just wanted to thank all of you out there who are on the front lines and making a difference in a shelter dogs life. As the saying goes “Everyone wants to be the sun to brighten up someone’s day. But why not be the moon to be the only light during someone’s darkest hour”. To all of you being the moon- thank you!

The majestic Belgian Malinois has two settings- full tilt and whatever this is. K9 Jocko clearly needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to restore his default nap settings!

When your K9s are out on patrol keeping the streets safe… and Mother Nature decides to drop a light show worthy of a recruitment poster. The northern lights showed up last night, and our handlers somehow managed to snap photos that make it look like the dogs were guarding the gates of Valhalla.

K9 R***r and K9 Echo got these great photos taken of them! We train them to track suspects, not solar flares—but apparently they can handle both.

Today we stop, not for celebration, but for gratitude. For those who carried the fight, who saw the worst of this world and still stood tall for the best parts of it. You wrote the definition of courage in sweat, blood, and sacrifice—and this country stands because of it.

At Redemption Ranch, we also pause to remember the dogs who’ve served this great nation; those who’ve searched, protected, and given everything without hesitation. Their loyalty and bravery remind us that heroes come in many forms.

From all of us at Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue—thank you for your service and your sacrifice. You are never forgotten.

Happy 250th Devil Dogs! The few, the proud, the reason safety briefs exist!

K9 Echo does it again! Our very first ever shelter to shield dog out here showing what shelter dogs are capable of! From being a scared and nearly frozen stray to now routinely making huge seizures- we couldn’t be prouder!

🚔 MASSIVE INTERDICTION ON I-70: 216 Pounds of Ma*****na SEIZED! 🚔

Plainfield PD officers were on I-70 when a routine traffic stop revealed far more than a minor violation. Suspicious behavior prompted the deployment of K9 Echo—a proud graduate of Redemption Ranch K9 Academy—who delivered a rock-solid alert on the vehicle.

A probable cause search uncovered approximately 216 pounds of vacuum-sealed ma*****na. That’s over 97,000 grams of illegal drugs that will NEVER make it to our neighborhoods, schools, or children.

In Indiana, ma*****na remains ILLEGAL. Possessing, transporting, or distributing it is a crime—period. This seizure is a firm reminder: if you traffic drugs through Plainfield, we WILL find you, and you WILL face consequences.

Outstanding work by our night shift patrol team and the unstoppable K9 Echo! 🐾

⚠️ Parents & teens: Talk openly about the real dangers of ma*****na. It’s not harmless, and it’s not legal here. One bad choice can change a life forever.

👉 See something suspicious in our town? Call Hendricks County Communications Center immediately at (317) 839-8700 or dial 911 for emergencies.

Together, we keep Plainfield the safest place to call home.

What. A. Night. Last nights police and fire football game with Plainfield High’s Club 361 was such a blast! These amazing kids raised over $5,000 for us to help more dogs go from shelter to shield! That is a staggering amount of money for us!

We would like to say an extra special thanks to the referee crew who donated their fee to us as well! Also in attendance were K9 Newt (whose art got put on shirts for everyone) and K9 Casper, both of whom were delighted to be the center of attention!

For those who don’t know the “361” is the badge number of ISP Trooper Aaron Smith, who was murdered in the line of duty in Plainfield summer before last. Myself and others on the field were there with him in his last moments on that day, and this event served as an amazing way to keep his name and memory alive, as well as allow his life to continue to serve the public by putting more 4 legged officers on the street. In attendance were also his family, whose grace and presence meant everything to us. We will remember your son.

To everyone who came out, who cheered or supported us- this organization would not exist without your support. Thanks to you we are able to start offering dogs to out of state agencies, some of which are in our upcoming class! Thanks again everybody!

Check out this great clip from the news from the benefit football game from last night! More photos and updates to come- but again, thank you to the amazing kids of Club 361!

Students, police officers and firefighters took the field Wednesday night for a friendly matchup that turned into a tribute to fallen ISP Trooper Aaron Smith.

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!
