Adopt from Russell Rescue, Inc. |
The following steps should help you (and us) determine if there is a match between you and one of our terriers in Rescue. All applicants are thoroughly screened and must meet certain qualifications before being referred for a terrier. Approval is based upon the understanding and acceptance of the nature of the terrier, the owner's lifestyle, and their ability to house the dog properly.
If you are interested in adopting a Jack Russell Terrier through Russell Rescue, Inc., you MUST fill out an adoption application. No exceptions! A list of available terriers available in the US by State is available online.
Review our Adoption Requirements
Terriers in Rescue are in great need of proper JR homes and while they may need a little special handling, adopting a terrier in need can be much more rewarding than starting with a new puppy. However, please review the following important points regarding the adoption of a Jack Russell Terrier.
- Review the Bad Dog Talk which represents the worst case scenario of owning a JRT
- Every applicant must first fill out an adoption form (either using the online or printed form).
- All rescue dogs must have containment (fence, kennel).
- We do not place dogs in homes where there are children under six years of age.
- We have few dogs that are good with cats.
- We rarely place terriers of the same sex together in one home (i.e., fighting).
- We never suggest that JRTs are suitable for metropolitan living.
- We do not suggest placing terriers where the terrier must remain at home alone for extended periods of time.
- All applicants are thoroughly screened and must meet certain qualifications before being referred for a terrier.
- Compatible terriers may not be immediately available; your patience is appreciated.
- Filling out an application does not guarantee that we will place a terrier with you.
- All terriers in Rescue are spay/neutered.
- A adoption fee to Russell Rescue, Inc. is required to adopt a terrier.
