Ragged Mountain Dogs
Who We Are
We are an All-breed Canine Rescue located in Sperryville, Virginia at the foot of Old Rag Mountain. We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. There are 35 to 40 dogs in our care at all times.
For over 17 years we have been involved with shelter dogs. We take "death row" dogs from local Kill Shelters, rehab them physically and emotionally, place them in loving homes, or provide a life long sanctuary for those animals too old to readopt.
RMD houses the adoptable dogs for the SPCA of Northern Virginia as well - you can visit them from a link on our website.
Ragged Mountain Dogs was begun by Lisa Reid, who is the trainer and "mom" to most of our dogs. In Lisa's words:
"I was introduced to the plight of homeless dogs in 1990.
It was my dream to be able to build a kennel and house many of the animals that needed extra help in order to make them more adoptable. An emphasis on maintaining their emotional stability was first and foremost a part of my plan. After two years of working with a local trainer/behaviorist, I made the move and went out on my own. From the years I had spent working with shelter dogs, as well as the five years I had spent working in an Animal Hospital, I was able to create an environment that caters to the emotional and behavioral issues of all the animals in my care. Through routine crating at night, the use of a potty yard, and daytime pens and play yards, I am able to provide the structure my guys need to keep them happy and healthy."
