Jack Russell rescue is one of the most awarding parts of my life — you will get an unconditional love like no other from rescuing a Jack Russell! It’s so easy to fall in love with this excitable and energetic breed. So is a Jack Russell the right dog for you? Where do you go to rescue a Jack Russell? And how do you help your new rescue dog to settle into his new home?
Is a Rescue Jack Russell Right for me?
A rescue Jack Russell could be right for you if:
- You have experience with dogs particularly terriers
- You are training minded and able to use positive reinforcement dog training methods
- You have a safe and secure home with a decent yard or garden
- You have no children (or children used to dogs or old enough to understand how to respect them and treat them)
- You have no other pets such as cats or hamsters (Jack Russells are prey driven so this could be a recipe for disaster!)
- You are an active household who enjoys the outdoors and walking/hiking
