Impromptu Vol Day
We had a last-minute/unplanned “vol day” this morning. About half of Team Russell showed up to take all of the dogs out for a little while to eat and do their business before tucking them back into their warm crates (on fresh blankets) indoors.

Local Volunteers Needed
We are desperately seeking Jack Russell rescue lovers in the Atlanta area to volunteer during extra-cold weekdays to take dogs in and out of of the indoor kennel to eat, pee, etc. If you live in the Conyers/Snellville area, please contact us.

We also said goodbye to one of our special boys whose mother made him a "lucky one" ... and provided the soundtrack to a video of lots of other lucky dogs like him.

Jack Flashback: April 2013
April was nothing short of mind-boggling for us. We were at capacity and already struggling with vet bills when six new desperate rescues arrived.
