Unwanted Clothing Collection Alison Wigglesworth is making an "unwanted clothing collection" with proceeds to be donated to Midlands & Northern Ridgeback Rescue.  She has already started to collect in the village where she lives and asks
that anyone attending the Club Open Show on Sunday 21st March 2010,
and has unwanted clothing, shoes or handbags, lurking in their
drawers and wardrobes, put it all in a bin liner and bring it along to the
show.Please take a few moments to root out anything that you may no longer want and could aid in raising funds for rescue. Thank You |

You may detect from the many blank spaces on the
Re-Homing Page
that we are awaiting a lot of photographs! It would be extremely
helpful if owners trying to re-home their dogs could provide a photo
of the dog needing re-homing. Details on the

It is a sad fact that there are Ridgebacks that need re-homing and their number is increasing each year.
The reasons for parting are many ranging from the genuine such as the death of an owner, to the absurd, "he's too big and boisterous"! (he is a Ridgeback after all!)
The Midlands & Northern Ridgeback Rescue are asked to re-home both dogs and bitches from as young as four months to the oldies of twelve and thirteen years. Our rescue co-ordinator, Janice, works tirelessly to find them permanent homes matching dogs and prospective owners to ensure, to the best of our abilities, that it will be the last time the dog has to go through the trauma of being "passed on".
Sadly, despite the best efforts of all Ridgeback Clubs, the number of Ridgebacks that are in need of re-homing continues to grow. Profits from all our rescue events together with all donations are utilised in aiding the rescue of these unfortunate dogs.
RESCUE APPEAL UPDATE - 11th March 2010Over the last year, despite a lot of dogs needing
kennelling and medical attention, rescue funds have remained on a pretty
even keel. Once again, this has been due, in no small part, to the efforts
of our friends and supporters all of whom we thank unreservedly. Of late the
number of dogs in need of re-homing has increased dramatically, as no doubt
will the associated expenses. It would be greatly appreciated if those
friends and supporters who have helped in past years, are able to
continue in their efforts to provide funds for the unfortunate dogs that
need our help. Of course anyone else who would like to involve themselves
would be most welcome. Thank You |
 "Please... Can You Help Me?" |
Our sincerest thanks to everybody who has contributed both their money and their time in raising funds for Ridgeback Rescue.
