Russell Rescue (RRI) is a network of volunteers dedicated to placing unwanted, displaced or abandoned Jack Russell Terriers into permanent homes. All dogs entering rescue are either temporarily placed in a foster home or must remain with their owners until a suitable home can be found. Foster space is limited so foster homes are generally reserved for dogs that are in danger of euthanasia at local shelters or are in an emergency situation. RRI gathers information designed to match terriers to the appropriate permanent home or temporary home. We are funded by tax-deductible donations, adoption and surrender fees and supported by dog lovers throughout the world.

You can become a Russell Rescue helper (transportation, foster home, shelter contact, behavior counseling, etc). To help with Rescue, please contact a Russell Rescue representative in your area. You will be required to fill out a Volunteer application.
