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.

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 complete an on-line adoption 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 Russell Terrier!

His curiousity about his surroundings is as charming as he is. Snuggles follow long walks and going for a drive; Sparky loves going for rides in the car. This sweet (less then 12" tall) little guy is rather quiet and reserved so he would do best with a female dog with the same demeanor. Sparky is a young dog so he will require both exercise and patience.   Rhinebeck, NY		Brownie Sex: Male Age: 3 years Coat: Smooth Color: Tri-color Adopted Brownie is just nuts about both humans and canines! He loves to run free in the yard as much as he enjoys going for a walk. An active young terrier mix who would also appreciate some basic training and plenty of snuggling when the day the done.

Darla Sex: Female Age: 2 years Coat: Rough Color: Tri-color Adopted Though having been shown little kindness in her young life, Darla has a lovely, and loving, temperament. She is shy and unsure but responds to a warm voice and a gentle hand. Patience and love is required to earn this petite girl's confidence. Congratulations! Darla has been adopted. Jan 1, 2010 Darla was confined to a crate for most of her life so she's very uncomfortable with first encounters in the outside world. She is a quick learner so a fenced yard that allows her to run and play and play some more is required. Darla likes other dogs and would likely benefit from a companion to show her the ropes.   Rhinebeck, NY		Harley Sex: Male Age: 2 years Coat: Smooth Color: Brown/white Adopted Harley is a young, neutered male who gets along with other dogs but can be a bit selective in his choice of companions.
