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.
