Sid had been a club member for many years, serving as a valued member of the committee and was instrumental in the setting up of Midlands & Northern Rescue. He will be sorely missed by all.

The funeral service will be held at 1pm on Wednesday 20th January 2010 at Southport Crematorium, Southport Road, PR8 5JQ. No flowers please, but should anyone care to make a donation it will be shared between The Parkinson Society and Midlands & Northern Ridgeback Rescue.

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 - 25th February 2009

The immediate urgency of our desperate financial situation at this time last year has for the moment been alleviated. This has been due, in no small part, to the efforts of our friends and supporters. It's not to say considering the current financial climate that the situation will not deteriorate. we do expect an increase in the number of dogs needing our help.

If you would like to help, or indeed have an interest in re-homing a Ridgeback, please go to the Re-Homing Page for further details.

Thank You

"Please... Can You Help Me?"
