Adopt a Jack Russell Terrier in New Jersey

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 Jersey's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the state running on transport from Southern shelters. Newark, Trenton, and the shore communities have particularly active networks. A rescued New Jersey dog has typically traveled significantly to reach its new home.
