Oscar went to live with a lady who had extensive experience with ridgebacks, having owned two previously. They are together 24/7 and this suits Oscar just fine.

When Peanut came into rescue she was an adorable bundle of puppy energy, 4 months old and 19lbs 2oz as of 12/27/06. She is probably Boxer and Ridgeback and a few other breeds mixed in. Peanut is very smart and sweet, with a very friendly nature. She found a great home where she loves to snuggle with the people, and is learning all the stuff a big dog needs to know.

Penny Lane is an adorable mix, a Mini-RR. She was rescued from a kill shelter by a sanctuary and then transferred to rescue. Penny arrived full of fleas, which were easy to take care of, and suffering from Demodex Mange, which took months to cure. She stole everyone's heart during those months, and we were very happy that she finally found a home with a wonderful couple who will adore her, and who have lots of grandkids for her to love and play with. She is indeed a happy tail now!

Pete is a beautiful 2 yr old light wheaten purebred Ridgeback with a nice ridge, a beautiful head, and a sweet disposition. Some wonderful people in rural Colorado who run an all-volunteer Humane Society found Pete starved and injured. They called CRRR for help and we nursed Pete until he found a great home with a loving family and two little boys.

Porter has to stay in his foster home, the some place where he started out so many years ago. After seven years in one home and two attempts in other places where he was very destructive, it became apparent that he just wanted to be with the rescue coordinator and her dogs. This is where he was comfortable and felt safe. And, of course, all the negative behavior disappeared.

Portia found her new home with a couple and their two cats. Never having been in contact with a cat before, Portia held up nicely and pretended to be totally unafraid, although I'd wager she was quaking inside. Since the initial introduction, all seems to be well and Portia and the cats may even become friends!

Radar is one of 5 wonderful 6 month old puppies who were transferred to Rescue from a shelter. The mom is a purebred Redbone Hound and the dad is a purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback; they all have ridges. Radar is the only boy and is a goofy boy who does not sit still very often. He found just the right home with an active family and an eight year old girl who loves him.

Rally is in her forever home with a young man, his parents and sister. She was a birthday present and will go with Justin once he graduates from college in a few years. Rally and Polly, their Golden Doodle hit it off instantly and will be best buds. After a rough beginning, this enchanting little Ridgeback has found happiness.

Ramble and his brother, Scramble, were abandoned with their mother Ruby. Ruby took very good care of them but she was very thin when Good Samaritans took all of them in and called us for help. The puppies found a wonderful home together where they are learning all the things big dogs need to know and are loved very much.

Raptly now lives on a large estate/Farm in Longmont with a lady, her Leonberger and horses. The dogs run and play to their hearts' content and Raphy finally gets to enjoy the life all rescue dogs are entitled to.

Rocket found his forever home with a young couple and their RR/boxer in Fountain, Colorado. One of the most intelligent dogs we've known, these folks already know what a treasure they've adopted and we know they will enjoy many happy years together.

Rocky is a really great guy whose loving owners sadly had to place him rescue for family reasons. We always work very hard to make sure rescue dogs go to good homes, and in Rocky's case, we all got very lucky. The people who adopted Rocky are wonderful dog parents who love him whole-heartedly, and he loves them. Plus, sometimes he gets to come visit his former foster mom! Rocky the wonder dog is a happy tail again.

Rodeo is a true success story. Arriving from TX, his past was relatively unknown as his former owners had adopted him from a shelter. His past life must have been hard as his numerous scars and missing chunks of ear would indicate. Now however, the only hardship Rodeo has to endure is being off of the couch for more than 30 minutes and to go to the park yet again.

Roo was adopted along with Trey and Violet (who wasn't even on our website yet!) by a wonderful couple who live on a 1000-acre ranch. All three of these dogs got to know each other while being fostered and they are great friends.

Roosevelt found the perfect home! A young woman,an occupational therapist, living in Buena Vista, found it in her heart to provide Roose with the home of his dreams. He will be spending 24/7 with her as she visits patients and, in their free time, jogging, camping, hiking, and enjoying each other's company.

Roscoe is a big, cheerful mix who needed a new home due to a change in his family circumstances. He was adopted by the same great guy who adopted Odin from us a few years ago, so he is not only a lucky dog, he is a very happy tail!

Roscoe was about 2 when he came into rescue, a beautiful, sweet, smart, well behaved jewel whose family could not take care of him. Roscoe found the perfect home with Dan, who is very dog savvy and a great dog owner. It was love at first sight on both sides, and has become a wonderful relationship between a good dog and a good man.

Roxanne is a beautiful ridged pure bred RR. She was about two years old when she came into rescue. She is a very fit, powerful, and dominant girl, and required very RR savvy owners with lots of love. In her foster home she became very attached to the two children in the family, and became a very good girl with the family's help. Roxanne's dreams have come true - she has been adopted by her foster family! They have done so much with her and she is so happy with them, this is truly a happy tail.

Ruby is a Mastif/RR mix who was found abandoned with two puppies, whom she was taking very good care of. She had some serious health problems that she was nursed through by rescue. Sweet Ruby found a wonderful home with a young couple, their 16 month old daughter, and a Boston Terrier pal! The whole family loves her and she and the little girl have a special bond. We miss her but she is where she needed to be - in a loving home!

Rufio went to live with a dear friend. This is her third RR from rescue and we are so grateful to her and her family that these dogs have all enjoyed wonderful, long lives in a home filled with love.
