Frazier Goes Home

After years at the rescue, Frazier has a forever home! He's been with us for so long that we can barely remember when he arrived ... Five years ago? Seven? He was always overlooked by potential adopters, but we all knew (especially after what a gent he was during his barn hunt classes) what a special, easygoing, loving boy he was outside the kennels. When Anne first visited the rescue last year, he even tried to jump into her car. Yesterday, he did ... forever.

Rocket Goes Home

OK, long-time GA JRT supporters, you are not seeing things … Yes, this IS Rocket and, yes, he was out and about in public and in the arms of someone who loves him. In fact, he’s been in a home for the very first time in his long kennel life this past week. We were keeping things tight-lipped to see how they went and they are going wonderfully, so we can spill the beans …

Octavia Goes Home

Octavia was only supposed to be at our rescue for a few days last August. That plan drastically changed ... for the better. :)
Callie

Calli Goes Home

After tons of follow-ups and phone calls, Callie went home with Jerry and Kelly McGilvary yesterday. Mom has already posted two pics of her and says that she is settling in well. Have a great life, little one.

What a Difference a Year Can Make

It was a year ago that we heard the news no one ever wants to hear: An out-of-state rescue was busted and more than 50 neglected dogs were seized. Many of them were Jack Russells, and the local shelter was desperately reaching out to all rescues across the country to save some of them.

Hannah: Learning to Be Happy

It’s been about two months now since Hannah went to live in foster care. Several of our dogs have found wonderful foster homes since the first cold spell hit Atlanta, but this one was extra special. Hannah didn’t just need a foster home; she needed to learn how to love.

2013: The Year in Photos

2013 was such a monumental year for us! Even though we've been around for a decade, our little rescue has never known such an outpouring of love - from volunteers, adopted/foster parents and supporters around the globe. We are so thankful for social media and the Internet to help us spread our mission and find JRT lovers around the world.
Happy New Year from Georgia Jack Russell Rescue!

Jack Flashback 2013: December

'Tis the season for a month of miracles. December was amazing in all aspects - from incredible fosters/adoptions, to an outpouring of donations and voting support, to an awesome and much-overdue party. It ended a year that we will never forget at rescue.

Success Stories 2013: Arena

Arena had been with us for years … five long ones, in fact. We were afraid she might never find a forever home. Those fears were laid to rest in April ...
