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!

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!

Ruby found her forever home with a couple who will give her all the love and care she has always wanted and deserved.

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.

Although Ryssby (half brother of Copper) recently turned 8, he has the spunkiness of a 1-year-old. He is a purebred ridgeless ridgeback that came to the rescue from a very loving environment, where the previous owner was forced to give them up due to a medical condition. Ryssby and Copper had been together their whole lives. They found a loving home together with a woman who has a heart big enough for both of them, and they are happy tails again.

Sabrina is a pretty girl, a Ridgeback mix with a ridge that looks like a mane because her coat is longer,like an Australian Shepherd. Her tail is docked like an Aussie also. She was a stray on a reservation, and her life was focused on survival. She came into rescue at 5 years old, and adapted to her new life with grace and good humor. She loves people and she was adopted by two women with acreage for her to chase rabbits on and lots of love to give her. That stub tail is a happy tail now.

Cheers for beautiful Sadie, who was fostered for several months in a home where she was nursed through multiple surgeries due to injuries and neglect she had received in her three years of life in a puppy mill. Another wonderful foster home helped her recover from the emotional damage she had received in the puppy mill. Sadie found a forever home with an awesome couple who are able to continue leading this brave, sweet girl into her recovery and helping her learn to be a dog. We miss her, but are glad she is loved and safe.

Sam found his forever home with a man whose rescue from us died in June. Missing the companionship that only a dog can provide, he found Sam on our website and once they met, it was clear that there would be no more lonely days and nights for either of them.

When Sweet Sasha came into rescue she had not been rehabbed after her leg was amputated. Her foster home helped her learn how to live a normal life and get around with three legs. She found the perfect home with a wonderful family that live on a ranch. Sasha has 2 lab siblings and 2 cat siblings, and she loves her new people already. She is a great companion for her new mom! UPDATE: In MemoriumSasha's family notified rescue that she had passed away due to a suddent heart attack. We were very sorry to hear the news but we are gratefull to her adoptive family for giving her the best life she had ever had.

Applicants Joe and Diana initially came to meet another foster, but once they met Scooby, they knew he was the one they wanted to share their home in Glenwood Springs. It was a perfect match; they had recently lost their beloved ridgeback and Scooby had been abandoned by his family. Now, as the days go by, besides spending time with Diana in the house, Scooby accompanies Joe to his job, and joins him on fishing trips and long hikes. A happy ending indeed with mutual healing, love, and understanding.

Scooter was adopted by a very loving couple who live up in the mountains. Her new dad will take her on walks around their property, and she will keep her new mom company in the house. UPDATE: rescue recived a wonderful Christmas card from Scooter's new family with pictures. She is having a great life, although she gets very upset when the bears come to rob the bird feeders!

Our beloved Seaboo found his forever family in Kansas. He is sorely missed, but has found a home filled with love, where he will be able to thrive and reach his full potential.

Shilo was born 8-25-2007. We were caring for her Mom, Nell, when Nell whelped three mixed breed puppies. Nell is about 30 lbs, she appears to be a stock dog mix. She was a stray that stole our hearts. We were able to help her and her puppies although, obviously, they are not Ridgebacks. Shilo is a sweet, friendly, healthy puppy who found a wonderful home with a young couple who love her a lot!

Sidney is now Wasabi. Adopted by a by a young couple with a wheaten terrier, his life will be filled with all sorts of outdoor activities, especially his favorite, swimming!

Skye is a RR, Beagle, Lab mix without a ridge. He is a medium size guy, maybe 50 lbs. Skye was warehoused in a backyard chainlink pen with other dogs in pens around him for most of his life. He wasn't socialized and he didn't much like people or other dogs. His foster mom had faith in him though, and sure enough, he improved enough to find the perfect home. Renamed Willie, he is living with a boy named Bobby. Below is an essay written by Bobby about his dog Willie. "MY DOG WILLIE" by Bobby: I have been scared of dogs since I was three. When I heard the story of Willie, I thought this dog is going through almost the same thing as me, only he was afraid of people. Dad had visited him before I met him. Willie was nice to me, and after a couple minutes he came and put his head on my lap. That night Dad and I decided that we had a new member of the family! Willie gets nice long walks or runs every morning. He sleeps on his nice fluffy dog beds at home and at my grandparents' house. For a special treat I let him sleep on my bed sometimes. It is a dream come true for me! Willie has changed so much since we got him. He is learning to play now, he loves to cuddle and is a very happy dog. In fact, I am a very happy boy! Willie is the best dog in the world and I'm glad the Colorado Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue gave him a chance.

Skyridge, now known as Olivia, is a beautiful Ridgeback girl who came into rescue at 9 months old. She found a wonderful home with a vet student and a Ridgeback older brother to help show her the ropes.

We found the perfect home for Storm with a couple who will make him the center of their lives!

Sundance is a fine fellow who appears to have some Ridgeback and some Mastiff in his mix, and the great thing is that he does not drool like a Mastiff does. He was three when he came into rescue. His foster home soon found out Sundance is a very nice dog. He caught on to house training and crate training quickly. Sundance is a sweet and gentle boy, very loving and affectionate with people. He was adopted by a great couple that will love him and teach him the things like walking on a leash that he has never had experience with, and he has a Jack Russell brother that he loves to run and play with. This big sweetie deserved to be a happy tail, and now he is.

Our dear Sunshine finally found a home to call her own. Inseparable from the two young daughters of a couple living in the foothills west of Denver, she spends her time basking in love and plenty of cuddling. No need for long hikes or playing outside; just hanging out in the house is just fine and all she needs to make her the happiest dog ever!
