Say hello to these two rowdy pups!!  Jill and Snickers are 7 months old and are currently located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  They are healthy and fully vetted.  Because they are so young they are not well trained yet.  They could use a patient owner who can show them how to be great little JRT’s!  They do know how to sleep in their crates all night though, so they have a great start!  JRT’s are smart and they learn quickly.  Jill and Snickers will be in Oklahoma City for a couple of weeks and then will be headed to Texas to their foster homes.  Stay tuned for updates on these guys!  

Jill and Snickers will be available for adoption soon.  Watch for their posts, including all their adoption requirements, here on our website.  Anyone interested in adopting Jill or Snickers can apply here.  We don’t ship our dogs, so their adopters will need to travel to the Dallas, Texas area to get them. 

Jill is the cutie with the split face markings, and Jack is the handsome guy with one black ear. 

This is little Max.  His owner could not take care of him any longer due to her health, so Russell Rescue took him.  Max was well loved for many years.  He is in foster care in Wernersville, Pennsylvania and is settling in well.  He’s a senior boy (14 years old) with cataracts.  Even though he’s elderly he still is spry and pretty active.  He is a typical senior dog.  He loves to sleep in his bed and relax inside.  Max also loves car rides with the windows down, and long walks through nature!  He is a big fan of treats and will even speak for them.  He is completely housebroken and does a good job of going potty outside.  He hasn’t been great with cats in the past, but other than that he is a very affectionate and loving dog!

Max will be available for adoption soon.  Watch for his post, including his adoption requirements, here on our website.  Anyone interested in adopting Max can apply here.  We don’t ship our dogs, so his adopter will need to travel to Pennsylvania to get him.  Welcome to the family Max!    We are going to find you the perfect home!

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!

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!

Say hello to Shadow!  She is a 13 year old little senior girl who is in a foster home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Shadow is settling in and doing well given the confusing situations she has found herself in lately.  Shadow’s owner passed away recently, so she’s understandably sad.  Shadow is so easy going and very loving.  A perfectly well behaved little girl.  Her vet visit is coming up soon, and we will know more about her in the coming days as her foster mom gets to know her better.  Stay tuned for updates!
