Why a Rescue?
Why not?
Generally these dogs are not in rescue because of
something they've done.
Life has its ups and downs and unfortunately not everyone
can keep their pets. So, rescuers take them in and help them find
a new home. How about a dog that is already house broken? Leash Trained? Kid trained? Needs exercise, but doesn't have to be entertained all day long.
Sounds too good to be true? NOPE!
Take a look below at these great dogs and you will see
Reality!
These dogs and many more AVAILABLE through
Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue, Inc.

Sissy
That's my brother, J.J. below. We were found together. He has hogged all of the attention for the last year of our natural born life, so I am a bit shy. I warm up quickly though. I love to be told I am a "Good Girl", because I am. I'm quite the escape artist too, but only because I am afraid of being dumped again. Can you offer me a secure, loving home? I will return the love 10 fold. I am smaller than my brother, about 50 pounds.

| ADOPTED!!!!!
J.J.
Wow, I am one handsome dude! I look mostly purebred, but take a look above at my sister. We are probably mixed with Labrador. I am what's called a Liver nose. I am extra sweet and gentle, super fun too. I am an escape artist when you leave me alone in the yard......HEY, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU, UNDERSTAND! I am medium size, about 60 pounds. |
ADOPTED!!!!!!!
SASHA
Hi! I'm a pretty, 9 month old, 1/2 RR 1/2 Lab girl. I've been an outdoor dog for my short life, but I am willing to learn to be a nice calm inside dog. I am good with kids and love to play fetch. I am probably too rambuncious for cats right now. I don't have a ridge.....was I supposed to ask for one?
| |
Roxy! ADOPTED!!!!!!!
60 pounds of NOTHING BUT FUN!!!! This UNDER 2 years old lady, is kid tested and mother approved. We still need to test her with cats, but the staff at the spay clinic fell in deep love immediately.

| ADOPTED!!!!!

Can you fit my specifications?
Please, oh please, oh please!
I am 2 years old. |
ADOPTED!!!!!!!!!!
I'm "Spud" my brother and sister were dumped back in October and now ME!!! I am a bit different than Rocky and Ginger, I have a liver nose and golden eyes, I am a pure blonde. I wanted to make sure I got a ridge, so I ordered 3! Take a look, I have 3 fans down my back. This makes me very special. I am dog and kid friendly, probably not good with cats. Take me home today. I am around 10 months old. |
ADOPTED!!!!!!
I'm "Sid" a happy, healthy brindle colored RR mix. I'm sweet, friendly with all dogs and KIDS, and I even sit nicely for treats. I have a perfect ridge that stands up like a mohawk. I am medium sized, about 60 pounds. I lay around a lot, sleep stretched out half on the dog bed and half on the tile(for heat regulation), but offer me some playtime or exercise and I am r-e-a-d-y! I love to kiss ears. I am 8-10 months old. My motto: "A man can NEVER have TOO MANY TOYS!" Hurry...my foster mom is falling in love with me! |
ADOPTED!!!!!!
"Zoey"
I am an absolutely beautiful, purebred, ridged, spayed, four year old Ridgeback. I am a dream. I wasn't dumped like the dogs below. I was raised perfectly and lived a spoiled rotten life(and I deserved it), until my dad couldn't keep me where he lived. I really want a small family of my own. I am scared of strange dogs (not aggressive) and preschool age kids freak me out, but I love grade school age and up. My other requirement is I need a big fluffy dogbed. |
| ADOPTED!!
Rocky and Ginger
We are so loving and friendly, why did someone dump us in the middle of Winnemucca, NV. (we don't know where that is either). We are about one year of age. We love kids!!!! |
