Carson Shelter Announcement
On January 1, 2006 the Carson Shelter became an independent organization (501(c) 3 corporation) ( Russell Refuge, Inc.) and donations intended for the support of the Carson Shelter should be sent directly to Russell Refuge, Inc. Russell Rescue is continuing with its mission of providing medical care, temporary foster homes and permanent homes for Jack Russell Terriers across the country and looks to you for the funding necessary to help these terriers. RRI supports the move by the Carson Shelter to become an independent non-profit and we look forward to working toward the same goal of preserving and protecting Jack Russell Terriers.
The Russell Refuge is not part of RRI but is a shelter in Rhinebeck, NY, that holds to the same high standards and pursues the same cause to place unwanted terriers. You will need to apply directly to the shelter itself for adoption.

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. RRI gathers information designed to match terriers to the appropriate permanent home or temporary home. We are funded by
