Rescue needs funds to help Kobe and his sister Randee and dogs like them. Both Kobe and Randee have the most important Ridgeback characteristic, the ridge. If all goes well these two
dogs are on their way, from a high kill shelter in West Virginia, this very weekend and should shortly be in our care.
Kobe comes to us with a leg injury needing surgery. He had quickly been placed on the shelter’s euthanize list because of this leg injury, when he came to the attention of rescue and we are raising money to pay for an operation on his leg. We believe his injury was caused when he was hit by a car.
Fortunately, Randee, though very small, is in good health and a very high energy dog.
All she needs is a good home and the love and care she deserves.
There are many dogs like Kobe and Randee in the care of Rescue. Each costs money for
care and treatment, preparing them for their new homes. The number of dogs coming into
rescue in 2009 was about 50% higher than the dogs taken in during 2008. This year, 2010
is on pace to beat the 2009 levels. Without money Rescue can not help these dogs. Each
rescue dog is a unique individual and special in his or her own way.
Please look at your own Ridgeback and then don’t forget those without homes. Without
Rescue and the people who make it work, no one would be there to help these dogs. It is
a special feeling when we bring a dog to his/her new family and we know we have given
a dog a second chance at happiness.
Please go to the website and look at the work we do. Read some of the profiles and then
give what you can afford to help continue the much needed and good work.
