My name is Charlie!

We work hard to find the proper match for each of our Jack Russell Terriers. Our adoption process helps ensure the adopting family and the dog will be happy with the decision. The adoption process is generally as follows: the applicant completes an adoption application. We review the application and screen the applicant to see if they are a good match. Assuming everything looks good, we conduct a home visit to check the dog’s future living arrangements. We suggest the applicant and all household members meet the Jack Russell as well. If it is a good match, the Jack Russel’s new family completes the adoption agreement and pays the adoption fee.

Jack Russell Rescue CA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to rescuing Jack Russell Terriers. We complement the work of California animal shelters by helping them free up space for other dogs in need. Many shelters maintain a list of rescue groups dedicated to a breed in their area and when a Jack Russell Terrier is received, the shelters calls us for assistance with placement. Additionally, we rescue dogs that might be considered un-adoptable by some shelters, such as dogs that are older or have special needs.

We also accept Jack Russell Terriers surrendered by their owners. Often when a shelter is filled to capacity, the shelter will give owners our contact information. Breeders and Breed Clubs also refer owners looking for a rescue to help their Jack Russell Terrier.

We rely on foster homes and our dedicated network of volunteers to care for our dogs until they are adopted. Foster families provide a loving environment until the right forever home can be found.
