Our thanks to our volunteers

Our thanks and gratitude to the volunteers who are making our lives that much easier. Without you, rescue such as this would be so much more difficult - even impossible! If you would like to send us photos we can publish, we would love to recognize you “in person”! Thank you for all you folks do to help us help the Ridgebacks.

Our Team

Elizabeth Akers
President/Director

As much as I thought I wanted to retire, the creator of all things, Mantis, decreed that I was not ready for that yet - so here I am…. going to die with my collar and leash on…. and vet bill in hand.

Heidi Berghorn
Secretary/Director

Heidi has been involved with Ridgebacks for over 25 years and has helped ID dogs in shelters, as well as transporting and fostering dogs (and lots of other animals!). Her Ridgeback, Glory, was her best friend and constant companion, and her main motivation for loving the breed and being involved with rescue.
