"The Jack Russell Terrier Resue is in an emergency situation at present. We have dogs that are in shelters and in undesirable homes. We need to get them help however we do not have enough foster homes. This week good fortune shone on our heads as a new foster came to the resue of Oliver (a young Jacj that was having a difficult time in the shelter.) This lucky jack is being resued by a new foster Dad who is not only willing to take this dog into his home but is making the long drive to Ottawa to pick him up. We have other jacks who are on our waiting list. Dameon is one such dog. The poor guy is living at a boarding kennel. He sounds very sweet and is dog, stranger and kid friendly. He is 9 years old. He should be in a loving home for Christmas.
There are many other Jack Russells needing our care also. These rescued dogs can come with their own difficulties. As a rescue we know that good foster homes can make the difference for them. These dogs require not just a place to live but a chance to be part of a family with schedules, structure, discipline, understanding and love. e are desperate for foster families. Please look into your heart, you life and see if you can take in another Jack Russell. If you know of anyone who would like to foster please have them contact us.
WE ARE DESPERATE. WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

And here's a few pointers if this is catching your attention - Please Note:
- JRTRO operates in Ontario, Canada with dedicated volunteers, adopting families and foster homes across the province.
- With economic and high stress situations as those occurring at present, family pets are often the first to suffer the fate of abandonment, or worse.
- Jack Russell Terriers are one of many particular breeds that do not respond well to animal shelter housing for any length of time. Fostering is a very effective tool in the process of an adoption as the animal can feel safe and loved, less threated when meeting a potential new family. They can get the care, attention and interaction they thrive on and find their transition to a new family a more secure and comfortable one.
- Where ever you are in the world you can bet there's an organization near you that has the same need. Look them up on line or through your local city or town hall. You've no idea just how much your help is appreciated by these groups and the many animals who need care, love and support.
- Besides it truly is the natural thing to do. In nature abandoned babies or youngsters are often adopted and raised by other animals - sometimes odd combinations too!
- And then there's the love you can give to an animal - not for a long term commitment, but instead simply to be there and help in a time of dire need, when often the only other option for an animal is euthanasia unless a permanent home can be found immediately which is too difficult to arrange.
- The sloppy kisses of appreciation you'll receive from some lucky pup will be treasured believe me!
- It's almost like being a foster family for kids but instead you take in an abandoned & rescued animal!
