Adopt a Jack Russell Terrier in California

Jack Russell Terriers are fearless, energetic, and clever little hunting dogs with strong personalities. They're commonly surrendered when their drive outpaces what owners expected from a small dog. A rescued JRT in an active, engaged home is endlessly entertaining.

California has one of the largest populations of rescue dogs in the United States. The state's warm climate means many rescues operate year-round, and major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are home to hundreds of rescue organizations.
