Adopt a Jack Russell Terrier in Virginia

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.

Virginia's rescue dog community is active across the DC suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke. The state has both high-need rural shelters and well-organized urban rescues. A rescued Virginia dog often comes through one of these active organizations.
