Ajax went to live with a neighbor of the original owners. He will live out his days with joy and love, just what he's had all his life so far.

Akia is a Ridgeback mix with a very pretty, expressive face. When she was 10 months old, some great folks brought her down to us from a kill shelter in WY. We got her spayed and into a foster home and found out that she is a very sweet girl, a little afraid from all the changes she had been through, but loving and trusting with those who were kind to her. Now she has been adopted and has a great forever home, and those days of being scared and hungry are over!

Ally went to her new home in the city! From initial reports, she seems to have fit right in with her new guardians and their RR mix, Maynard. Once timid and so shy, she is blossoming into a playful and outgoing dog, always ready for a new adventure.

Ally (now Zula) went to live with a couple who live a quiet life and one that will be devoted to caring for and loving this endearing and gentle ridgeback. Recently diagnosed with heart worm, Zula is undergoing treatment and we are all confident she will fully recover and continue to live life to the fullest.

Great News! Angus' foster family has decided they simply cannot part with him and have decided to give him a home for the rest of his life! This is their second ridgeback from Colorado RR Rescue and we know Angus can look forward to a life filled with love and new adventures--just as dear Louie did.

AnnaBelle was chosen by a family in Colorado Springs to be their resident dog and companion and she couldn't be happier. Three children to play and hang out with is probably more than she ever hoped for and now it's reality. We just hope she gets to do a lot of swimming!

Anakiya was adopted by a couple who live in the mountains and had been waiting for just the right dog. They adore her and feel she is the perfect dog for them. In April '09 they emailed: Our Annakiya is still running strong, almost 10 now, and you would think she was 5 again! The mountain air and long hikes have kept her spirit going strong!

Apple went to live with a family that fell in love with her the second they saw her--the perfect home for this little sweetheart!

Arlo found his forever home with a young couple from Colorado Springs who plan on moving back to Pittsburg in November when the husband leaves the service and his wife begins teaching at the University of Pittsburg. Arlo will have as companions, three cats. From testing him with cats while he was in foster, he seemed to show no interest in them at all, so we hope they will all end up as friends!

Thanks to Dan Mong, our wonderful foster guardian, Ava learned to have manners around other dogs and once again became the wonderful ridgeback we had originally known five years ago. A family in New Jersey fell in love with her photo and after many phone calls and interviews, relatives drove to Denver to take her to her new home. The family is head-over-heels in love with Ava and she with them A story-book ending for a very special ridgeback!

Aza went to live with Greg and Shireen Connor in Black Forest. They live on five acres in a lovely, country home. The Connors are very knowledgeable and experienced with the ridgeback mentality and temperament, having had Buster, a ridgeback very similar to Aza, for many years.

Basil went back to his original owner. Their reunion was heartwarming.

Bea and 2 other Ridgebacks were living on their own when some folks intervened on their behalf and got them into our rescue program. She was only 18 months old and very timid and shy of humans, but with love and affection she blossomed into a happy tail.

Bella loves the couple who adopted her and they, in turn, are thrilled with her. She continues to flourish and thrive on their undivided attention with playtime and walks high on her list of favorite things to do.

Bella came into rescue as a 12 wk old puppy, birthdate 08-17-07, and of course, she was (and is) adorable. A purebred Ridgeback, Bella was an impulse purchase because she was so cute, and to their credit, her owners turned her over to rescue when they realized they could not put in the amount of time and work that raising a puppy takes. Bella found a wonderful home with a couple who have the time and knowledge needed to provide socialization and careful training. They will help her learn all the things a big dog needs to know and love her a lot!

Bellamy (now Tyson) found the family I'm sure he always dreamed about and they found each other at just the right moment. The family's beloved ridgeback had just recently died and they could not bear the thought of having another dog--until they met Tyson. Of course he would never replace the dog that died, but here was another rescue that needed them, along with all the love they still had left over after their loss. The last I heard Tyson has not even attempted to jump their six-foot fence, something he was prone to do!

Bello was adopted and is delighted with his new home!

Belushi (now Ballou) went to live the life of a country gentleman, east of Colorado Springs. Surrounded by other dogs, cats, horses, and a wonderful couple to dote on him, he's in Seventh Heaven!

Ben and Martha went to live with a couple, their new baby and two small dogs in a mountain cabin west of Black Hawk. Here they will have plenty of room to roam and play outdoors when not making sure their family is safe.

Benny is a very handsome purebred Ridgeback, 4 1/2 years old when he came into rescue. He is well behaved, sweet, and laid back.We knew Benny would make the most perfect dog in the right home, and his new family will tell you he is indeed the perfect dog for them.
