Jack Russell Terrier Rescues

Rescue is not directly associated with the JRTCA, however, there are two rescue organizations that are recommended by the JRTCA: Russell Rescue, Inc. (National Rescue) and Russell Refuge, Inc. (Northeastern U.S.).

If you have a rescue question, please contact these organizations directly using the links below.

Russell Rescue, Inc.

Russell Rescue, Inc.Russell Rescue, Inc. (RRI) is a national network of volunteers dedicated to placing unwanted, displaced or abandoned Jack Russell Terriers into permanent homes. All dogs entering rescue are either temporarily placed in a foster home or must remain with their owners until a suitable home can be found. Foster space is limited so foster homes are generally reserved for dogs that are in danger of euthanasia at local shelters or are in an emergency situation. Donations are tax-deductable.

  

Russell Refuge, Inc.

Russell Refuge, Inc.Beyond the gate, in a world of its own, lies our little kennel. A refuge (Rhinebeck, New York) for unwanted Jack Russell Terriers that come from shelters or homes where they are no longer welcome. It is a place of peace and understanding, offering the opportunity to heal from the traumas imposed on them simply for being what they are. Most of the dogs that come here go on to wonderful, loving homes, leading lives befitting their nature... some never do. Donations are tax-deductable.
