Rhodesian Ridgeback Dogs Available for Adoption in Pasadena, California

#A5751957 Palmer
is a 2-year-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback mix (possibly hound mix) with a handsome brown and black coat and a tall, athletic build. Found as a stray on January 25, 2026, alongside
Mort A5751958
, Palmer weighs 84 lbs but is currently very thin for his breed and will need some healthy weight gain to feel his best.

Palmer is shy in his kennel but appears to be a very sweet, gentle boy once given a little reassurance. The shelter environment is overwhelming for him, and he’s still finding his footing. He’s currently receiving medical treatment and will be adopted on a health waiver so his new family can continue his care. With patience, good nutrition, and a calm, loving home, Palmer has all the potential to grow into a confident and devoted companion.
