Jack Russell Terriers can be found in shelters where a great number of other dogs are placed too. Rescue dogs are either abandoned by their owners or brought to rescues as strays. Rescue organizations give them necessary veterinary care and foster homes.
A terrier will not be placed in a home that is not approved. A person who considers adopting a Jack Russell Terrier should fill out an adoption application. Afterwards, he or she will be asked for a home visit. Jack Russells are active dogs with special demands. A small apartment is unsuitable for a dog that needs much exercise and space. A person with an active lifestyle, time and desire to train and care for the Jack Russell Terrier will be a perfect match. Most rescues will require a fenced yard as an indispensable condition of adopting a Jack Russell Terrier.
Since Jack Russells are serious hunting dogs and should be treated as such, it is not a very good idea to place this dog in a home with cats or other small pets. Also, they don't do well with children under six years of age.
If you are looking for a dog that does not shed or bark or dig, the Jack Russell Terrier is hardly a right choice for you. All rescue dogs are spay/neutered. They may or may not have some serious health or behavioral problems, but they are sure to be depressed at the loss of a loving home. If you are seeking a true companion, an energetic and intelligent pet and if you are prepared to devote a considerable amount of time with the dog, take a challenge and consider adopting one of rescue Jack Russell Terriers.
