Rhodesian Ridgeback Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Maine

Meet Ranger!

Four months old. Thirty-four pounds. Arriving June 13th. And yes, we see that ridge. We see it.

Ranger is a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy who is about to walk through our doors looking like a tiny lion with spotted socks and absolutely no idea that he is going to be big. He is sweet, he is stunning, and that ridge running down his back is basically nature showing off.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks were originally bred in southern Africa to track lions. LIONS. So if you were looking for a low-key lapdog, Ranger is not your guy. But if you want a loyal, intelligent, athletic companion who will be devoted to your family for life? You just found him.

Four months old means he is at the perfect age to grow up exactly the way you want him to. Blank slate. Big potential. Even bigger future.
