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 Re-Homing Page

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 2010

Over 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.

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
