Adopt a Jack Russell Terrier in New York

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.

New York has a dedicated rescue dog community, with major organizations in New York City and throughout the state. Many NYC-area rescues transport dogs from overcrowded Southern shelters, giving adopters access to a wide variety of breeds.
