Macey came to rescue starved for food and affection, 20 lbs under her ideal weight of 70 lbs. Once she had been brought back to health and good condition, this big, active girl found a home with some wonderful people who have a Dane/RR Mix for her to play with and who enjoy this beautiful girl. She is a happy tail now.

Mack found his forever home with a young couple and their two children. He joins Charlie, a Ridgeback mix adopted two years ago. A happy ending for a great dog!

Madison was about a year old when she came into rescue, and is purebred although ridgeless. She has the legs of a gazelle and the body, head, and attitude of a Ridgeback. Madison, now known as Maya, is having a great time in her new home, as you can see in these pics of her with her new RR sister, Rina. (Maya in black collar, Rina in red). The other dog in the middle picture is a friend who came to visit. Maya is still a puppy in many ways, and she gets Rina playing and having fun with her. (In the third picture, in case you don't know RRs, they are playing, not trying to kill each other!) Maya loves her new "dad" and her sister Rina and she is definitely a happy tail now.

Marshall found his new home and loves being surrounded by a loving family, mom, dad, and two young daughters. There's also Bella, a little pug/rat terrier with whom he is learning to play. Going for jogs is going to be a big part of his life and he has already shown he is great at keeping pace.

Maylee went to her forever home with Michelle and Dave Stewart. She will accompany Dave to work every day and on weekends there will be plenty of time for hiking and camping.

Misty is a Spaniel/RR mix who is wonderful with humans but not so good with other dogs. She found a home with an amazing couple who are happy to let her be the only dog and the ruler of the roost. She is living the good life!

Mo is a mix with a beautiful "mohawk" ridge. He had a very hard life until he came into rescue. He ran loose, scrounged for food, and ended up in a pound. He was heartworm positive when he came into rescue and required extended treatment for that. Mo is an exceptionally smart dog who needed the right home to teach him how to live a settled life. Mo is now living with a couple who really love him and he is doing great!

Molly was saved from a shelter, and we knew right away that she would be a good match for a great family that was looking for a sibling for their RR mix Rocky. It wasn't exactly love at first sight, but now she and Rocky are inseperable. We recently (11/09) got some great new pictures from them, with a letter letting us know how much she is loved. This happy ending is what makes all the heartbreak of rescue worthwhile. Molly is the dog on the left in all the pictures with her buddy/brother Rocky.

Molly (AKA Elle Mae) was one of 5 Coonhound/RR mixes that the Alamosa shelter asked CRRR to help place. She was adopted by a wonderful couple in Broomfield and is learning all the things big dogs need to know. She has made huge strides in trusting people since moving in with them and has become a happy puppy and loves playing with her lab mix big sister Derby!

Mr. Pink was adopted by his foster home. Thanks to Camp BowWow for facilitating this adoption after he was given up by his owners.

Murphy is a very handsome liver-nosed boy, with the beautiful amber eyes that go with the liver-nose coloration and a nice ridge; the pictures do not do him justice. He is about 90 pounds, lean and tall; he is 4 years old, and a really nice boy. He minds well, walks well on a leash, and has good manners in the house. He is a love bug with humans. Murph found a wonderful home with RR experience that can give him lots of love, and he will have a happy ever after tail!

Nala is a three year old Rhodesian Ridgeback / Anatolian Shepherd mix.. a big girl at 27in. tall and 85lbs. She found a home with a loving family and 2 kids who keep her very busy!

Natasha (Tashi) was adopted by a couple who adopted another RR from Rescue many years ago. One look at Tashi and they fell in love and decided that Piper, their current RR needed a new playmate.

Sweet loving Nikki found a home with a great young couple who spoil her totally but also take her to obedience class and are helping her be the great dog she is meant to be. She loves to go hiking in the mountains!

Nugget is a big happy-go-lucky mix. He is truly a special boy and it was obvious that with the right owner he would be one of those dogs who is remembered for all of his owner's life as "the best dog I ever had". He was adopted by a wonderful couple who took him to live in the mountains, and he is a happy tail now.

Nyah is a pure bred 4 year old RR who somehow ended up unclaimed in a shelter. Some wonderful folks rescued her from there and brought her to rescue. She found a home with a wonderful dad who takes her running with him, and Nyah loves to show off how fast she can run! Her new French Bulldog brother is learning to share the couch and their dad. This princess has found her castle.

Odin is a handsome liver-nosed boy. He is 25-26 inches at the shoulder and about 85lbs. Odin has very good manners and is a pleasure to walk and to have in the house. He does have some food agression issues. Odin was adopted by a dog-savvy single man who is well able to work with his food issues and sees him for the wonderful boy he is.

Okemo was just a little puppy when she was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter in Hutchinson, Kansas. Luckily for her Hutchinson is an amazing town with a shelter director and volunteers who love animals; she was well socialized and a very loving, happy, puppy when she came into rescue at about 4 months old....The top picture is Okemo when she first got to us, the middle picture is after she came to live with Alec in April 2009, and the third picture is Okemo/now Zuri in May of 2009. Here is what her new family says about this wonderful, personality plus little girl. "We love our Zuri! And she seems to love her new home very much. Although she has her own wicker bed, she prefers to share with Alec, her two-legged 12 year old best friend. Zuri loves to run as fast as she can for no apparent reason other than she just loves to run and has plenty of space to do so next to her home in the mountains. She is so fast and flexible, we believe agility to be a sport she might enjoy very much. Zuri spends week-ends at the ballpark, and has a made many good dog & people friends there. She's a growing girl, now up to 45 lbs with lots of ridgeback and some mystery traits as well. One day soon a DNA test may reveal what many have attempted to guess. Zuri also loves toys, toys, and more toys. We fill her basket, and she still manages to add to it (a bit of a thief). Zuri has a great personality, is very smart, and loves life! We're so happy she's part of our family. Thank you, CRRR for finding Zuri (formerly Okemo), and to Inge, Sahara & Phritz for bringing her to us.. She's such a great girl, we really do love her very much and are so happy that you placed her with us.. Still miss Phritz alot, and make many comparisons, but Zuri is Zuri, sometimes like Phritz, but mostly like no other dog I've ever known - a truly unique little girl. "Love, Deb, Ken, and Alec"

Opus is lab/RR mix who was deemed not adoptable by a shelter. He turned out to be a great dog, and he found a great couple to live with who will take him running and hiking, take him to obedience classes, and love him a lot.Good boy, Opus!
