A Little History
We began more than 10 years ago as a Mom and Pop 501c3 nonprofit foster agent to assist rescues with re-homing surrendered and stray Jack Russells. We lost our wonderful Pop, Jim, in December 2008. He loved our Jacks and worked tirelessly day and night to take care of the dogs.
Now Mama Donna, Papa Mike, and a handful of volunteers, affectionately known as Team Russell, are helping to find homes for the dogs … and holding down regular jobs. As you might imagine, this is a huge undertaking, but these precious dogs are worth every minute of it.
Our Mission
What We Do
- 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.
Before you adopt a Jack Russell, please go to www.terrier.com and read if a Jack Russell is the right dog for your family. They are a high-energy breed that needs discipline and lots of exercise and attention.
