Today we had the privilege of presenting an award to Jordan Abel and the incredible team at Adesa Auto Auctions here in Plainfield. Their support has been nothing short of life-changing for our mission. Because of Adesa and Jordan’s support, our dogs don’t just train in a field or a classroom—they train in real cars, in real-world environments. These are shelter dogs who once had nothing. Now, thanks to opportunities like this, they get to prove their worth in the same conditions they’ll face once they graduate and hit the streets as police K9s.

Jordan, your belief in what we do has given these dogs more than a training ground—it’s given them a future. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.

Last week, K9 Chase had the honor of joining Cub Scout Troop 824 for their Public Safety Day! From keeping his community safe by finding drugs to building community relationships- this dog can do it all!

K9 Kilo is heading home! He is bouncing back so quickly after his shoulder surgery that they knew a kenneled anxious malinois could recover a lot better at home- so off he goes. He’s gonna be spending some time on the couch with his humans, healing up and getting ready for a pain free life and long career.

Again, as deeply and sincerely as I can say it- THANK YOU! This full tilt, sweet and loving pup was able to have this procedure thanks to your overwhelming generosity, and we can never express enough how much gratitude we have for everyone that helped this pup along in his journey!

🚨 K9 Kilo Surgery Update 🚨

Kilo’s operation was pushed to today so the vets at Purdue could get updated CT scans and plan again. The operation went beautifully. Right now, Kilo is staying overnight in the hospital under close observation, but he’s awake, eating, drinking, and showing that unstoppable spirit that has carried him through every hardship. Tomorrow he gets to come home to his family who cannot wait to have him back and have been worried to the max for the last 2 days.

This boy should never have had to fight this hard just to survive—but thanks to you, he didn’t have to fight alone. Your donations, your prayers, your love—they made this possible. You gave a forgotten dog hope, and in doing so, you also helped make a community safer

From all of us at Redemption Ranch: thank you for believing in him. Thank you for giving Kilo the chance he’s always deserved. And to the amazing veterinarians at Purdue, thank you for taking such good care of our guy!

Day 2 at Nationals is in the books! More agencies that have never heard of us and are interested is a great thing. BUT by far the best thing we’ve heard down here from several people is “you know guys are going to take off in the next few years”. We hope so! We hope demand is so high our pound puppies are always ready to be called up to the majors! Again to everyone who helped us get here- thank you!

We made it to Nationals! We are set up and ready to go! Every single one of you who donated, shared our story, or believed in this mission helped get us here. You gave us the chance to show the world what it means to take a dog from shelter to shield. In less than a year we went from borrowed equipment and IOU’s to now being here with the biggest names in police and military working dogs in the country!

Already, we’ve met agencies who are excited about our program and did not know something like this exists. That means more shelter dogs will get the chance to be heroes. More lives will be saved. And more departments will receive loyal K9 partners—all at no cost to them. We are moving the needle on what a working dog can come from and what they can look like! Shelter dogs are not broken!

From a dream to a reality, this moment exists because of your support. Thank you for walking this journey with us. Emptier shelters and safer streets- we are already making waves down here! To everyone who helped get us here- we’re gonna make you proud!

Dear Friends, It’s me, Kilo. I just wanted to say thank you. Because of your kindness, my surgery is scheduled for September 11th, and I’ve been given the chance to keep doing what I was born to do: protect my partner and serve my community.

A long time ago, I was chained to a dumpster and left to die. Back then, I didn’t think I’d ever trust people again. Humans had given up on me. But then my dad found me. He gave me a home, a purpose, and a family. They showed me what it means to be loved. Now I ride beside him every day, protecting him like he once protected me.

And now, when I need help the most, it’s people — YOU — who stepped in.

You gave me more nights riding beside my dad and best friend, more calls to answer, more time doing the work I love with the person I trust most. More time to protect my community that I love to help keep safe.

From every bark, every tail wag, and every pain free step I take back into the fight , it’s because of you.

Thank you for believing in me, for fighting for me, and for giving me this second chance.

With all my heart,
Kilo 🐾

We finally did it. We captured the most elusive creature in the wild… a non-blurry photo of K9 Echo with the Plainfield Police Department! This full tilt malinois usually moves at a speed that makes hummingbirds look lazy, but while completing some recent water and patrol training our friend Beth Hibschman was able to get this great photo of this good boy. From being a scared, frozen and nearly starved stray to being rescued by the Hendricks County Animal Shelter- Echo was the very first Redemption Ranch dog — the one who proved this crazy idea could actually work. He turned our dream into reality, and every dog since has followed in the pawprints he left behind.

In Japan, there is an art called kintsugi. When a bowl breaks, it is not discarded. The cracks are filled with gold. The damage is not hidden, it is celebrated. Every fracture tells a story, every imperfection shines. Our dogs at Redemption Ranch are living kintsugi. Abandoned, beaten, forgotten—they arrive fractured in ways the world cannot always see. Some flinch at a hand. Some hesitate at the smallest sound. They carry invisible scars that whisper of fear, loss or pain.

Here, their cracks are honored. Patience and care fill the spaces that were once broken. Trembling paws start moving forward. Dogs that were afraid and guarded learn to trust. Each scar becomes a mark of resilience, each fearful glance a mark of courage. Brokenness becomes a testament to survival, to resilience, to the undeniable power of the bond between a canine and their handler.

And then as you see it: a tail wagging, a nuzzle, a joyful leap, you realize what was once broken is now healing. Their pasts do not diminish them, they make their accomplishments shine all the brighter for having come back from where they were. These dogs shine like the gold we know they are. They prove that what was once broken can become whole again. To everyone out there who has supported us in any way, we are profoundly grateful
