Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue NSW

Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue NSW The mission of Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue is to provide for the rescue, care and rehome of Ridgebacks

WHAT IS RESCUE
Put simply a rescue dog is one that needs a new home. They come from all sorts of varying backgrounds – but mainly fit into two categories:
• The first are dogs that are surrendered by their owners for rehoming.
• The second are dogs that are surrendered to the pound, RSPCA or Animal Welfare groups.
1. In the first category:
Some of the rescued RR’s come from loving homes that for s

ome reason can no longer keep their pets – Reasons include:
-an owner who has died or needs to go into a nursing home.
-families that are forced to make a lifestyle change such as moving overseas or into an apartment.
-or are given up due to divorce and the financial restraints that this may impose. Some People rehome their dogs because they were unprepared for the lifestyle requirements of the breed or they did not socialise or train when a pup. In most of these cases a complete background of the dog’s health and temperament is usually available.
2. In the second category:
Some of the rescue RR’s that are obtained from animal shelters are ones that were found as strays or surrendered by people for the reasons above. With these dogs a health and temperament history is not always available and we try to assess the dog's behaviour and create a profile to ascertain the most suitable home. They are also taken to a veterinarian for a health check, immunisation and desexing if not already desexed. We try to obtain who the breeder of any dog is that comes into our care and they are our first point of contact regarding rehoming RRs. A list of potential owners waiting for a dog is organised in a list of best fit; placement is decided by where the dog will best suit the lifestyle of the prospective new owners. Costs vary with each rescue but a donation to the Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue of NSW is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in being a fosterer, rehoming a RR or you have a RR to rehome, please contact us.

We are sharing to help these cute Ridgeback x Doberman pups find their forever home. Please contact the page & we will put you in touch with owner/contact.

💙🦮 Oscar & Felix 🦮💙
Assisted rehome 🏡

Oscar & Felix are almost 5 months old.

These gorgeous pups, brothers, are both URGENTLY seeking their own forever families.

🧭 Located in Minchinbury NSW.

🐕🐕 In their very young lives, Felix and Oscar have been socialised with two small dogs, and they enjoy eachothers company too.

🐈 They have spent some time in the company of one cat, whom they've not paid much attention to.

Both pups will require desexing & vaccination.

💙Oscar🐕‍🦺
Microchip No.:
900164002307841
✅Has had worming & flea prevention.

Oscar is a leader, confident, inquisitive and adventurous boy.
He loves pats and Snuggles, zoomies in the backyard, tug of war and playtimes with his brother.

He can jump a bit when excited.
He is indifferent about having a lead attached.

💙Felix🐕‍🦺
Microchip No.:
900164002307844
✅Has had worming & flea prevention.

Felix is the quieter pup, timid, 'afraid of his own shadow', and prefers to follow his brother to feel more confident. He will need a dog companion.

He sits and cowers when a lead is attached😔 It takes Felix time to feel comfortable and confident with people - when he's feeling comfortable he loves pats, Snuggles, zoomies, tug of war and playtimes with his brother.

Oscar and Felix need forever families who will be dedicated to:
- their continued socialisation,
- regular exercise, (a backyard would be great for their zoomies & playtimes), along with having walks and/or jogs.
- training,
- being included as part of the family, and,
- vet work such as desexing and vaccinations.

If thinking about enquiring
Please ask yourself, if you have upcoming holidays planned or if planning on a baby, or moving house or having major upheaval.

If genuinely interested and able to adopt Oscar or Feliplease send a msgr msg to Ben Jem Sa Harper or Jard Jard to tell us about yourself, and how you can provide a forever home to Felix or Oscar.

Thank you.

Please share these lovely boys who CANNOT remain in their current environment much longer 🙏🏼 😰

My training weekend seminar was a brilliant experience and will go a long way to helping both my dogs but especially the Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue NSW dogs.

I can not thank Christa & Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue Australia for helping myself, NSW coordinator, to support our special needs rescue dogs. This is a small example of the efforts our small team go to helping Ridgebacks deal with the issues that have found them needing to be rehomed or rescued.

Tamika you done an amazing job and the entire weekend was a credit to you.

John & Helen are an amazing couple with a great training perspective that’s easy to learn and changes lives for both owners/handlers and especially the dogs.
Thank you all 🫶🙏

This is another reason to support our rescue and purchase a calendar! We do all we can for each individual dog.

Woohoo!! Adoption Pending

‼️🆘 CRITICAL ‼️ HELP NEEDED🆘‼️

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful Tiger has run out of time! We NEED to find this boy his forever home urgently!

We thought we had a match and he had a meet and greet. Tiger was, in the words of the prospective new owner, AMAZING!!

“He is a brilliant boy, even great when he visited in our home”

Unfortunately their existing dog wasn’t ready to share his home and they had to make the hard decision not to take Tiger.😪

Please read about Tiger below 🙏

Tiger can be transported anywhere. For the RIGHT home 💞

If you would love a loyal companion please message this page direcly

Rehomed ❤️

PRIVATE REHOME - (Not done through RR Rescue but Please Share)

Meet TwinkleBee, or ‘BB’. He was abandoned several weeks ago and deserves a stable loving home.

He is a 2-3yr old desexed Ridgeback X. He is a big boy at 30kg and has basic obedience, is eager to please, keen to play fetch, and loves company. He has demonstrated some guarding behaviour when in the car (growling) but shows no aggression and is very polite and gentle with food and pats. He is available for adoption.

BB is large and may play too enthusiastically with smaller dogs, so an only dog home or other big dogs are ok.

No children under 12 or cats. Fenced yard essential.

Please help BB find a home. PLEASE SHARE. He might not be right for you but someone you know might be looking for a companion like BB.
Micro chip #941000026715927

If you would like to meet BB, please give Scott a call at 0498703034

♥️😊Update: All pups have found their forever homes👏 Update: 3 male pups still needing homes; all girls have homes NSW Sydney Can you believe our unexpected litter of puppies will be ready for their homes this Saturday the 13th as are now 8 weeks old, microchipped and vaccinated. As they have grown, we do suspect these pups are RR x Rottie but can't guarantee the mixing. Lola had a prior litter crossed with a Rottie so we can assume it maybe the same mix and a reason she was surrendered into the pound. Note: Lola is doing so much better and close to a healthy weight (pic in comments) 4 lucky pups have been snapped up! I know need 4 foster homes from the 13th for the pups still awaiting a home so their training and socialisation can make them balanced, adaptable and happy pups for their future forever homes. If you can provide a pup a good start in life and would be interested in helping one of our special unexpected bundles of cuteness, please message the page.

Rescue Girl is feeling safe and seems so much happier! So happy in fact we are becoming playful.
