At Jack Russell Rescue we offered this limited service for many years with no fee, but have asked that if this site helps you then a donation would be appreciated, as this helps us continue to help others that don't have owners looking after them.
Unfortunately in many cases the donation has not been received, which I find very sad as we have many dogs that are looking for homes and these donations help us to continue to save the ones on deathrow.
In future a fee of $25.00 per month will apply. I wish I didn't have to do this but I need to make sure that I am able to continue to save the ones on deathrow.
Jack Russell Terriers need secure yards and housing, they require commitment, human companionship, the opportunity for play and exercise, and attention to training on an ongoing basis. They can make great pets if their needs are met.
Your dog should visit a Vet every year for an annual check-up and to discuss Vaccination status, as well as Vet treatment when required at other times.
All dogs need tick/flea treatment/prevention, worming treatments, (sometimes Heartworm assessment by vet, then treatment if required) and ongoing heartworm prevention tablets after that. Most common conditions are easily managed under Vet advice.
JRT's are generally (depending on their lifelong health) a long-lived breed, up to 15 years and sometimes beyond that.
