Welcome to Russell Rescue – Gary!

Welcome to the Russell Rescue family – Gary!  He came to Russell Rescue this week from a shelter in Texas.  He is a 2 year old boy that we don’t know much about yet.  In the short time we have had him, we already know that he is a very active little guy and an escape artist!  This boy will need a very secure fence.  Gary seems to like everyone and is friendly and happy.  We will know better in the days to come what type of adoptive home Gary will require.  

Gary is being fostered in the Austin, Texas area and is doing very well in his foster home.  He will be available for adoption soon.  Watch for his post, including his adoption requirements, here on our website.  Anyone interested in adopting Gary can apply here.  We don’t ship our dogs, so his adopter will need to travel to the Austin, Texas area to get him.  Welcome to the family Gary!  We are going to find you the perfect home!

Rescue Partnerships Save Lives!

Here at Russell Rescue, Inc., foster homes are our biggest need.  There are so many Jack Russells out there in need, and we are limited on how many we can help because of a shortage of committed foster homes.  Permian Basin Animal Advocates is a non-profit serving the Permian Basin area in Texas.  Bessie came along in their area needing help!  They stepped up with a foster home, and Russell Rescue, Inc. helped out with vetting.  Bessie was able to get a damaged eye removed and 5 infected teeth pulled.  She is feeling so much better!  Bessie was able to go home with her foster mom last week and is recovering.  

We wanted to say thank you SO much to Permian Basin Animal Advocates for helping to save little Bessie.  We may not have had a foster home available for Bessie, but the collaboration between our rescue groups still saved a JRT in need.  This is what rescue is all about: putting the animals in need first and thinking outside the box to save them and get them into loving forever homes!  We hope to report back soon with pics of Bessie living her best life in her forever home!

If you are able to foster a Jack Russell Terrier in need, please complete a volunteer form here.   Currently, we have volunteers located mostly in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, Idaho and New England.  Russell Rescue covers all expenses, so all you need to worry about are the belly rubs and snuggles with your dog!  Read more about our organization here

Tex – Happy Tails!

Check out this amazing Happy Tails story written by Julie (loving Mom of Tex!)  We couldn’t be more thrilled for Tex!  He hit the jackpot!  Happy Tails Tex!

“It’s Official – we have a new Devlin!  Welcome to the family Tex!  We felt the Fourth of July was the perfect “Gotcha Day”.  Tex (13) arrived January 2, 2022, as a foster for Russell Rescue Inc..  He had severe dental disease.  He was unsure how to trust and love.  

Well, that’s all changed! 

Tex, fondly known as Mundo and Gumby, is now toothless with an appetite that rivals his senior brother Chip’s.  He shares a bed with his brother Bruno.  He and his sister Olive hang out.  He found his voice and joins in on the barking fests.  He displays frequent “Wilburisms”.  Most of all, he knows what love, security and trust mean. 

❤️ HE IS HOME ❤️

Happy Gotcha Day sweet Tex. We love you! (7/4/22) Thank you,  Russell Rescue for bringing him into our lives.

If you are unsure about adopting a senior, don’t be! They are amazing and love with their whole heart! ❤️”
