URGENT!! POTENTIAL FOSTER HOME NEEDED for a 3-year-old neutered male Ridgeback picked up as a stray in the Sacramento area. His tail appears to have been docked at some point; it could have been due to a kink or “happy tail,” your guess is as good as ours!

He arrived at the shelter today (2/26) and will be on a 10-day owner hold since he is microchipped. If he has not been claimed after his waiting period is over, we will need a foster home ready and waiting in order for rescue to pull him from the shelter.

As we do not have much information about him or know his background, this needs to be a home experienced with the Ridgeback breed and willing to work with him so we can get to know him better.

The limited information we do have is that he was found in the early morning hours nudging the doorknob of a house. The noise woke the residents, who opened the door, and he walked right in as if he were home. The residents graciously fed and cared for him for a few days, but they were not in a position to keep him or to hold onto him for the 30-day “Good Samaritan” hold period before they could legally find him a home.

While in their care, he rode well in the truck and got along well with their children and resident dog. He walks well on a leash and knows a few commands, but he did have a few accidents in the house (although he used the dog door twice), so he will need extra attention in that area.

If you are in California (Bay Area and Sacramento area are preferred) and are interested in fostering, please contact Sheri at [email protected] or message us on Facebook.
