Founded in 2012, we are a single breed rescue run by a small group of volunteer trustees who are ably assisted by a number of volunteer helpers. We cover the UK from Land’s End to John o’Groats……no dog is beyond our reach.
Over the years our charity has helped hundreds Ridgebacks find loving new homes. Our aim, quite simply, is to help Rhodesian Ridgebacks that are in need. From young to old, everyone needs a helping hand, and if you’re a Ridgeback, that might just be us.
Ridgeback Rescue depends entirely on the generosity of our supporters and donors, to fund our charity. Because of your generosity it means that we are there when our beautiful breed needs us.

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 – we fully understand that each situation and decision is unique. We appreciate that whatever YOUR personal reason may be, that decision is never easy to come to and is utterly heart-breaking for all concerned. Sometimes, however, there really is just no other way.
Ridgeback Rescue are asked to re-home both dogs and bitches from as young as eight weeks to the oldies of twelve and thirteen years. Our rescue co-ordinator, 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 “finding a new home”.
Profits from all our events, fundraising and shop, together with ALL donations, are utilised in aiding the rescue of these unfortunate dogs and any associated medical bills.
When you adopt from Ridgeback Rescue, you don’t just change your new pet’s life, you add to your family and make it possible for us to help another in need.
