RRI is a national network of volunteers dedicated to placing unwanted, displaced or abandoned Jack Russell Terriers into permanent homes. All dogs entering rescue are temporarily placed in a foster home until a suitable home can be found. We are funded by tax-deductible donations, adoption and surrender fees and supported by dog lovers throughout the world. The goal of RRI is to have this unique hunting terrier be in the protective care of those who thoroughly understand this breed.
If you would like to make a donation please mail it to:
