It Takes a Village to Rescue a Ridgeback

Join the team behind every Ridgeback we rescue, support, rehab and rehome.

Ridgeback Rescue is 100% volunteer-run, and we couldn't do what we do without people like you. Whether you've got a few hours a week or just want to help at the occasional event, there's a place for you on our team.

Ways You Can Help

Move dogs safely between shelters, fosters and vet appointments.

Logistics & supply runs

Coordinate supplies, gear and donations, including supply runs to collect food, crates and other donated items.

Breed awareness & education

Help raise awareness of Rhodesian Ridgebacks and educate potential owners on the breed. Community talks, breed info sessions, and public events.

Whether you're hands-on with the dogs or helping remotely, your time makes a real impact.

Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone over 18 with a passion for animal welfare and a bit of time to give. You don't need prior experience, just reliability, kindness, and a willingness to get involved.

Why It Matters

Behind every adoption is a team of people making it possible, and the more help we have, the more Ridgebacks we can save. You might only see one dog's story, but your effort helps them all.
