RRUS
is an all-volunteer rescue organization with seasoned rescuers who
have been rescuing and placing Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs for many
years. None of RRUS’ officers, directors or rescuers receives
any salary or compensation in any manner whatsoever. Additionally,
all administrative costs are kept to a bare-bones minimum as every
penny spent on administration is considered money taken away from
the dogs. Private contributions are spent on the rescuing of Rhodesian
Ridgebacks and included but not limited to: shelter fees paid to
obtain the dog, veterinary expenses for spaying/neutering, maintaining
up-to-date vaccinations, various testing as needed for heartworm
and tic-borne diseases, etc. Many of the Rhodesian Ridgebacks found
in harm’s way, come to us in neglected condition with wounds,
injuries, infected ears/eyes and are often emaciated and in need
of special diets. Rarely, do the adoption fees cover RRUS’
actual costs incurred from these situations.
