"Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made." - Roger Caras
We do it for the dogs...
Russell Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit national network of volunteers dedicated to placing unwanted or abandoned Jack Russells into permanent homes.
The goal of Russell Rescue, Inc. is to have this unique hunting terrier be in the protective care of those who thoroughly understand this dog. This is a very unique dog that arrives in any life with a special set of needs not suited to everyone. They get into trouble. If they cannot find trouble, they create it. If bored, they can apply their extreme intelligence in destructive ways. They require an educated owner and a loving caretaker willing to provide what this dog needs to be happy and safe. Most of life with them involves protecting them from themselves and their own demise. They rarely lack courage and don't take to abuse, even accidental abuse...

CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON REHOMING YOUR DOG
*Did you get your dog from a breeder? If so, have you contacted the breeder?*
Good breeders will either take their dog back or assist you in re-homing your dog. It is usually a faster avenue than the rescue program. Please do this before contacting a Rescue representative. If not, please contact the representative that handles your state. *How long does it take for you to find a new home for my dog?*
Please remember that it has to be the right home for your dog. There is no definitive answer. It could be a week; it could take several months. The new home must fit the needs of your JRT. We know that you want the best home for your JRT and this can take time. *What are your requirements for my dog to come into your rescue program? *
As a general rule, your JRT must be spayed or neutered, up to date on its shots and current on its heartworm. The best course of action is to contact the representative in your state. NOTE: WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING DOGS INTO FOSTER AT THIS TIME
*My dog bit someone - I need to find another home.* We are sorry but we do not accept biting or aggressive dogs into our rescue program. However, we will be happy to speak with you about suggestions and provide you with possible options, such as our direct owner referral service and/or assist you in finding a trainer in your area. *Where are you located? I am moving in a week and I can't take my dog. *
We are a rescue adoption program. We do not have a facility, and have very limited foster care available. As a general rule, you will need to keep your dog until a suitable home is found. We are unable to assist you with such short notice.
KY Russell Rescue/Multi-Breed Rescue is made up of a small group of volunteers dedicated to saving unwanted or abandoned Jack Russell Terriers and other dogs and placing them into permanent homes.
We are all volunteers doing the best that we can with the limited funds and resources available to us. We give the potential adopter as much information as we can, including all vet records, but we normally do not know the history of the dogs, as they are strays at the pound. Very rarely do we have owner releases. Most dogs in our program were minutes away from being put to sleep so the pound could make space for more homeless dogs...
This listing and its administrator are not responsible and/or liable for the outcome of any adoption made through these listings as we are only providing information. This listing and its administrator are also not responsible and are held harmless for the accuracy and reliability of the information provided within these listings. Owners, foster homes and adopters bear the full responsibility and liability for any dog listed.
THANK YOU!!
