Georgia Jack Russell Rescue

We began several years ago as a Mom and Pop organization and foster agent for area rescues. We are now a small but mighty, all volunteer, non-profit rescue and adoption agency located in Atlanta metro area. We assist Atlanta-area shelters with re-homing abused, abandoned, neglected, unwanted or homeless Jack Russells and Jack Russell mixes, helping to place them in homes where they can live as the breed they are meant to be. We provide temporary medical and shelter for the well-being of Jack Russell Terriers who enter into the rescue system, via owner surrenders to rescues who can no longer care for their Terriers, or from animal control. We help protect the Jack Russell Terrier by educating pet owners and breeders of the special needs of this breed, preventing displaced terriers.

Our usual adoption fee is $300. After an adoption application is received and approved, a meeting with the dog is required and an introduction to any existing family dogs. If all goes well at the introduction, there is a trial adoption period and if that goes well, the adoption is finalized. Our adoption contract specifies that any dog who cannot be kept for ANY reason must be returned to us. All dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on shots and microchipped before adoption.
