Adopt a Jack Russell Terrier in Tennessee

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.

Tennessee has a large rescue dog population, particularly in rural counties outside Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. The state is a major source for transport networks across the country. A rescued Tennessee dog often comes from a high-need shelter where alternatives are limited.
