Save A Jack Russell Terrier
Beyond the gate, in a world of its own, lies our little kennel. A refuge for unwanted Jack Russell Terriers that come from shelters or homes where they are no longer welcome. It is a place of peace and understanding, offering the opportunity to heal from the traumas imposed on them simply for being what they are. Most of the dogs that come here go on to wonderful, loving homes, leading lives befitting their nature... some never do. The few who have not been so fortunate enough to be adopted due to old age or behavioral issues from misuse have pretty much become permanent residents.
We have many dogs here at the Refuge that are not pictured. We may have the perfect dog for YOU!!
If you are interested in the possible adoption of a terrier, please submit our on-line application. Do not be shy about adding additional comments. It will help us to get to know you better. Our goal is to place terriers in happy, forever homes where the adopting party and dogs are both winners. Thank you for considering a Refuge Jack!!!

If you are interested in adopting a Russell Refuge Terrier, you MUST complete an adoption application. No exceptions! Terriers in Rescue are in great need of proper JR homes and while they may need a little special handling, adopting a terrier in need can be much more rewarding than starting with a new puppy.
Russell Refuge does not ship dogs and requires that the applicant come to Russell Refuge (in Rhinebeck, New York) to meet us and the dog before an adoption will be made.
Even if you can not adopt one of our Russell Refuge terriers, you can help with a donation for Russell Refuge in whatever amount you can afford. Rescue donations are used for temporary housing, spaying/neutering, veterinarian treatments, food, water, etc.
You many use our Contact Form if you have any questions about our available terriers.

 | Terrier has one or more medical conditions |
 | Terrier is not recommended for adoption to a home with another dog |
 | Terrier is not recommended for adoption to a home with young children |
 | Terrier is not recommended for adoption to a home with cats |
Maybe tomorrow will bring some good homes for these rescues. Maybe tomorrow more people will realize that spaying and neutering their dogs will prevent so many unwanted animals. Maybe...
