#GivingTuesday2021 update
Oliver George – Your donations make all the difference!!
A Missouri shelter contacted RRRI about a young man needing to rehome his 9-month RR puppy. The shelter put us in touch with the owner and we were able to assist. The owner is a young person who was changing jobs and would only be home one day a week. The home environment, which included 16 cats, was not conducive to keeping such a young pup. The pup originally came from a BYB (Back Yard Breeder) “farm” in TX.
Oliver George suffered from bilateral ear infections at intake. The ear infections were treated and have resolved. However, it was then discovered that Oliver George is deaf, possibly from EOAD (Early Onset Adult Deafness). Further genetic testing is needed to confirm the origin of the deafness. Oliver George also was showing signs of Panosteitis (often referred to as growing pains in puppies, predominantly in large breed puppies). Oliver George was examined by an orthopedic veterinarian, and to reduce the symptoms of panosteitis, placed on anti-inflammatory meds, reduced exercise time and food formula changes.

Another #GivingTuesday2021 update to share - Things do come in small packages.
RRRI was contacted by a Rhode Island dog rescue group that focuses on small dogs. They had taken in a Ridgeback from an unfortunate situation and asked if we would help.
Tory was surrendered due to the family moving and being unable to take the dog with them. According to the family, Tory would spend her days tied up outdoors on concrete and then while in the home, in a room by herself. Tory went into foster care in a home that has previously adopted from RRRI.
We found that Tory got along with other dogs, and loves people and children. Tory does have high prey drive, and enjoys chasing squirrels, and birds. She is small for a ridgeback. The foster also has a senior Ridgeback and Tory has provided a new lease on life for the senior boy. And happily, the foster home has adopted Tory 🥰

Our next #GivingTuesday2021 story to share is about Sound of Music pups –
On May 8th, RRRI was contacted to take in nine purebred Rhodesian Ridgebacks, in the Great Plains Region, that were saved from a life destined for breeding. The dogs, Georg, Freidrich, Kurt, Maria, Leisl, Louisa, Brigitta, Marta & Gretl, ranged in age from 3.5 months to 5.5 years old. Upon intake RRRI was informed that 3 of the bitches could be pregnant.
The dogs were moved to a wonderful boarding facility, where they were able to decompress, be assessed for underlying medical needs, temperament issues and at the very least have basic medical needs addressed.
Upon medical assessment, all of the girls were ultrasound for possible pregnancy. It was confirmed that Maria was heavily pregnant, and whelped a litter of 6 puppies on May 23rd, aptly named “Six Peas In A Pod”. Maria had 3 girls and 3 boys, all ridged. The Foster’s grandchildren named the puppies: Pongo, Perdita, Pepper, Penny, Patch and Polly. Maria was the sweetest girl and an amazing mother!
Our first story to share.... Who doesn't love a warm puppy??
On October 29th, a RRRI volunteer was contacted by an owner who needed to surrender five – 12 wk old puppies due to a family emergency. Within 24 hrs RRRI had rallied the troops to pick up the puppies and found a wonderful foster home that was willing to foster all the puppies together. There was one Ridgeless Male, two Ridgeless Females and two Ridged Females.
All the puppies seemed well adjusted and very smart. Although they were also pretty destructive, it is no wonder breeders want to place their puppies by 8-10wks . . . the Bewitched Bunch kept problem solving and figured out how to get out of their enclosure . . . so the enclosure kept having to be reinforced. By the time they started going to their homes at 15wks, they were all eating in their crates (a few of them would race so fast because they were so excited). They were well on their way to being potty trained and slept in individual crates overnight without accidents.
The puppies all went to approved homes with applications already on file. One went to Northern California, one to Canada and three remained in the Pacific NW.
