Pacific Northwest Jack Russell Terrier Network Rescue is an all volunteer organization dedicated to placing unwanted or abandoned Jack Russell Terriers. We have coordinators throughout the Pacific Northwest that arrange for emergency rescues and gather information designed to match appropriate dogs with suitable permanent and temporary homes.

Our greatest need is for foster homes. Volunteers are needed for everything from transporting dogs to screening prospective adoption applicants over the phone and internet. If you are willing and able to open your home to a Jack Russell until the best home is found, please let us know your situation, in detail.

Please be as thorough as possible in answering the questions below and please be realistic about the amount of time you are able to devote to volunteering. This information sheet is strictly to determine how much we can intrude upon your life! Please be brutally honest, because we do not want to ask you to do something you are not comfortable with.

Thank you for your interest and for opening your home and heart to Jack Russell Terriers in need.
