Location: Omaha NE |
|
|
Age: 3 Years
Gender: Female
Status: Spayed
Housetrained: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Children: Yes
Child Age: |

Other Info: KoKo is a 3 yr old RR MIx. She is around 50 pounds. She is very loving and likes to be petted, but does not lick or kiss you. She is spayed, UTD of shots and heartworm medication. She likes to be outside and will sit with you for hours if you want to pet her. She is kennel trained and eats twice a day. She sleeps on a big dog bed, but will get in bed with you if you ask her to. She does bark if she wants attention, but is mostly a quiet dog. She gets along well with others and likes to play. She is not thrilled about storms, but does pretty well. I am told she is motion sensitive and would chase a bike, motorcycle or skateboarder if she had the chance. She seems fine with children. She currently resides in Omaha NE and is ready for adoption.

We are still working on potty training but she is getting closer. Alli was born February 18th and is half Rhodesian Ridgeback and half Lab, she does not have a ridge but she has all the other classic Rhodesian features. She is going to be a big girl, and has already shown that she likes to be in charge of the yard. She is not shy about bossing the older dogs around and surprising them by coming right back at them with some attitude. She is going to be a leader and she has alpha female written all over her. She especially loves children and loves to romp and play with the other dogs as well. Alli was bit in her right eye a month ago and it is still a bit swollen but making an excellent recovery. She is well behaved in the house and enjoys sleeping while we are watching tv. She will need plenty of love and exercise! Alli will be ready for her forever home after being spayed towards the end of June; she is going to make one lucky family very very happy!!

| My
name is Trusty |
|
Location: Missouri |
|
|
Age: 9
Gender: Male
Status: Neutered
Housetrained: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Children: Yes
Child Age: Any |
| Temperament: Very loving |
Other Info: Trusty is a beautiful 9 year old purebred ridgeback who is looking for his forever home. He is a loving boy who loves to go for a ride in the car, take slow walks, or lounge on a pillow bed near family. He is great with children of all ages, from infant to teens. Mr. Trusty does well with other dogs, but would not do well with a puppy. Trusty gets in playful moods, but his energy level is not what it use to be. Trusty was heartworm positive, but has been treated and has received a negative blood test from his Vet. He will require a medication on a daily basis for urinary incontinence. With the medication there is no urinary leakage. If you are interested in opening up your heart and home to this guy please complete the on-line application.

| My
name is Melody |
|
Location: Montana |
|
|
Age: 7 year
Gender: Female
Status: Spayed
Housetrained: See below
Cats: Yes
Children: yes
Children's age: 8+ |
Temperament: Friendly and Loving
|
Other Info: Melody is a sweet laid back girl who is looking for her forever home. Melody does great with other dogs and cats. In fact, being with another dog would be ideal for Mel. She still needs help on learning how to be a real dog. Melody loves to hike or take long walks. She loves the couch also!
Melody would do better in an open, rural area verses the hustle of the big city. Cars, horns, buses, loud noises seem to frighten Mel and then it is difficult for her to find her confidence again, and do her daily business.
If you are looking for a RR who still needs to grow into her true skin, Melody is the dog for you. With more patience, love and security this girl will be outstanding.

| My
name is Candi |
|
Location: Kansas |
|
|
|
|
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Status: Spayed
Housetrained: Yes
Cats: Likely Yes
Children: Yes
Child age: |
|
|
|
|
Temperament: A real sweetheart
|
Other Info: What a charmer this little girl is! A RR/mix, 2-3 yrs old, Candi is full grown at 65 lbs. Her ridge is far from perfect as a small strip down her neck. She's done exceptionally well with the people she's met. Our cat & other dogs adore her. She has not been around children but will do fine with a little supervision. Sometimes she doesn't want to go into her crate but will with positive persuasion. Following basic commands seems to be very natural to her. Her favorite times are when snuggling. She's going to be an excellent 'side kick' for some lucky family. You may not know it yet, but she is waiting for you.
If you would like to learn more or if you think Candi might be a good fit for your family, please complete an online website application (www.rrus.org) and one of our volunteers will contact you.
Thanks for choosing adoption!
