Story
Meet our sweet, beautiful girl Arya! She is approximately 7 years old and 68 lbs of pure love! Arya is super sweet, very affectionate, mellow, smart, and funny. She is the goodest girl who will do anything for a yummy treat! She absolutely loves her belly rubs and can often be found on her back, legs stretched out, waiting for her pets! She needs a little bit of time to warm up to a new environment or person, but once she gets comfortable, she will shower you with so much affection every day, everywhere. Arya was rescued from the Carson Animal Shelter (LA county kill shelter) where she was put on the euthanasia list after 3 months at the shelter. She has been in a foster home since leaving the shelter in late December. Here’s how to describe this sweet pea: - Walks great on leash (loves going on walks) - Non-reactive to other dogs on walks - Easy to train as she’s super food motivated (food will make her do anything ?) - Smart and picks up new tricks/toys quickly - Crate and house trained - Loves to spend time with her human. She’ll be happy just sitting next to you - Very good in the car - Very good with brushing teeth, cleaning ears, shower - Loves belly rubs and pets - Loves squeaky toys - Good with other calm large dogs - She takes a daily anti-inflammatory for her minor arthritis but has no problem going on walks and living a happy life! :) As Arya needs a little bit of time to warm up, an adults-only home is recommended. Adopt our bundle of joy! Arya had a very tough life so far and is so ready to embrace her forever family. Apply to adopt Arya on pacificpupsrescue.com!

Story
Looking for an outgoing pup companion with a mellow vibe, very affectionate and the sweetest smile? My name is Chumi, and I’m your girl! I have medium energy level and love exploring outdoors with lots of walks, even light runs and sunbathing. I am excellent in social settings because I have a laid-back attitude, walk well on leash, and enjoy meeting new people, of all ages, and friendly dogs. I am housebroken, perfectly behaved at home where my favorite spot will be cuddling next to you where I can cover you in kisses and you rub my belly! I have had obedience training and even done some agility, so am attentive to directions. I was a stray until I got injured when a car hit me. A woman took me in to help me recover from minor hip injury but after 5 years my person is now dealing with health issues of her own and can no longer provide the life she believes I deserve. She chose my happiness over her own, and hopes I have the chance to find good people to give me a loving home where I will be adored. I am seeking a family who enjoys a regular routine that includes lots of time outside. I would do well as the recipient of all your attention, or with another dog with a similar temperament. I know I am a mature girl but am a gem who has so much to give you! I know we will create wonderful memories together [Chumi is 8 years old and weighs 60 lbs.] If you'd like to meet Chumi, please contact Teresa Mendoza: (323) 683-7215 or teresamend@yahoo.com Note: This is a courtesy posting for our fellow rescuer, which means that even though this animal does not belong to our group, we are here to help those who need to find a home for their animals.

Story
Sir Oliver ( Ollie) was rescued from the Shelter, he had been surrendered for being "too big" and was scheduled for euthanasia at 10 months. We were lucky enough to have this brought to our attention at our Vet Hospital where we try to help pets in need. Ollie is a fun loving guy who adores people and likes to just sit at your feet and get a head massage or catch a good movie, he really is a love. He has stayed with a foster for the last 6 months, but unfortunately their situation has changed and he has come back to the hospital to stay, which is hard on him and not ideal, although we are desperate to keep from the shelter. We are seeking either a foster or adopter for Ollie as he deserves the best and all the love in the world! Ollie is good with kids and small dogs, we are not sure about larger dogs or cats. He is still working on his leash work, but knows his commands, sit, stay, go slow, give paw. Loves people, great for someone who works from home, crate trained too!

Adopting a Rhodesian Ridgeback

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Rhodesian Ridgeback - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Rhodesian Ridgeback at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Rhodesian Ridgeback is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Rhodesian Ridgebacks from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $1,700 to $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Rhodesian Ridgeback would be through a rescue that specializes in Rhodesian Ridgebacks. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Rhodesian Ridgebacks in your area.
