Adopt a Jack Russell Terrier in Maryland

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.

Maryland's rescue dog community is active and well-organized, particularly around Baltimore, the DC suburbs, and Annapolis. Many Maryland rescues transport dogs from Southern states. A rescued Maryland dog typically comes through one of these active organizations.
