Midlands and Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue has now morphed into the
Midlands and Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Support and Rescue Trust, a
UK Registered
Charity! While our objectives are broadly the same as before, we are now
more clearly defining the support aspect of the work we do, as detailed below. The objectives of the charity are to provide appropriate care, protection, treatment, security and support for Rhodesian Ridgebacks; to relieve suffering and distress and where necessary to find suitable permanent new homes for such animals; and to educate and advise both Rhodesian Ridgeback owners and the wider public in matters pertaining to the health, welfare and the prevention of cruelty and suffering of these dogs in the Midlands and Northern areas of England. The Charity will be administered by a Board of Trustees, Chair of which is Helen Mansfield. Details of individual trustees are published under the menu item "Trustees" We hope that all club members and interested parties will fervently support this new charity as they have the Midlands and Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue in the past. One other thing, no need to panic, Janice is still the Rescue Co-ordinator!! |

 Autumn
Sponsored Walk in aid of Rescue - Sunday 16th September 2012Do you fancy a gentle stroll in the mellow fruitfulness of mid September, among the ever changing colours of Autumn, in the Beautiful Moss Valley? Followed perhaps with a cosy lunch in any one of a number of local hostelries!! There are no mountains to climb just a nice steady walk for a couple of hours, but there is an escape route; a short cut for those who would prefer an easier and shorter walk!!  If
this sounds appealing, why not come along with (or without) your dog and at
the same time help raise some money to aid our less fortunate charges.
The walk begins at 11.00am Sunday 16th September 2012.This will be our 3rd Annual Sponsored Walk, with your help we can make it the best yet! For a Sponsorship Form Click Here. For Directions and a Map of The Walk, Click Here. |

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 and Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue Support and Trust 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.
