Monthly Donation SubscriptionsMonthly donations are a great way to help the Russell Refuge do even more to save lives and find forever homes for our terriers. As a Refuge sponsor, you'll make a difference by providing steady income to the Refuge, month after month... income that we can count on to do our work of providing shelter, food, veterinary care, love and protection. Russell Refuge, Inc. provides temporary shelter to Jack Russell Terriers in the northeastern United States who are no longer wanted or have been placed in public shelters. We have many dogs at the Refuge that are not pictured on our site. Please contact the Refuge or submit your adoption application to learn about all the terriers at the Refuge. Recent Updates
Letters From Home
From Sam's FamilyWhen we received Sam (formerly known as Jack but renamed to make a fresh start!) from Pauline in January, he was very quiet and there was a sad look in his eyes. Thrown into new situations with new people and without the owner he knew and loved, the journey had taken a toll on him. Now, three months later, his eyes are bright, he is full of energy and he seems to be really enjoying his life with us! More... 
From Frodo's FamilyWhen we first saw Frodo on the web site, we knew we wanted him. He has been with us for seven years. Frodo truly is a sensitive, brave, smart, funny,loving, sweet, and sometimes demanding beast. He is also very expresssive and literally "chats" when he hears sounds he does not appove of. Frodo went through a very scary time five years ago when he had an almost deadly reaction to a vaccine... he went into renal failure and was given ony a couple of months to live... five years later he is thriving with no residual effects. More... 
From Stanley's FamilyI was thinking this morning that I hadn't written in a while just to let you know all is well on the Nan-Stan front here in Park Ridge. There's not a person who meets Stanley who just doesn't fall in love with him -- sometimes I think he's God in a dog suit. He's been such a gift to us because of his personality and joyfulness. When we come home and he's so overjoyed to see us, picks up my croc and tosses it in the air just makes me laugh. He has his "man cave" under one of our coffee tables where he collects his bones and toys, complete with fuzzy blanket. More... 
From Deena's FamilyWe adopted Deena from RR 3 months ago. We have been amazed at how gracefully she has adjusted to her new forever home, and apartment life in NYC (still doesn't care for buses, or the automatic sliding doors at the market). Thankfully we live close to Fort Tryon Park, which Deena probably would call Fort Squirrel Park. She loves the morning and sunset walks there and never gives up hope that she could one day catch one of those darn squirrels! More... 
From Bentley's FamilyI adopted Bentley about 11 yrs ago from Dale. I am a technician at the Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. Dale came in with "Michael" a 6 month old Russell that loves cats. I happened to be the surgery tech on and was with "Michael" all day since he was getting neutered. I was not sure if I should take him or not and thought about it, the next day after work I called Dale and told her I wanted to see how he would be with my cats. More... 
From Nikki's FamilyNikki came home with us this past November. She is the sleepy dog on the left. Her friend on the right is Daisy who came to us from Dale in August of 2000. Daisy was a bit of a challenge for the first couple of years as she tended towards some submissive peeing. Probably why she was given up to rescue. Well, the people who weren't patient enough to work with her really missed out on a wonderful dog! She is a true Jack-never met a hole that she didn't want to put her head in, never stopped trying to catch that squirrel, and gave the raccoon who got stuck in our dog door a run for his money. More... 
From Missy's FamilyMissy says hello. We adopted her from RR a year and a half ago and she's just great. She loves to hug and cuddle now and has learned all kinds of new tricks such as give her paw, sit pretty, roll over and stay. She still loves people to death and think they all belong to her as they walk by our home. But, don't let a dog walk by. She still very much dislikes them! Her ball and daily walks are still her favorite activities and her uncropped tail is constantly wagging. More... More Letters From Home P.S.
