Owner Surrendered Jack Russells to

Robbin's Rescued Russells

We understand that people sometimes feel they are in need of finding a new home for their beloved Russell. This decision may be the result of a divorce, death of a family member, financial reasons, or maybe a behavior  issue, just to name a few. Before you abandoned your Jack Russell at a shelter, where he is more likely to be euthanized rather than being adopted, we may be able to assist you in finding a forever-loving family who deserves the love & loyalty of your Jack Russell Terrier. If you feel your only option is to re home your Jack and would like our help we can:
  1. Add your Jack Russell as a courtesy listing to our “Available for Adoption” page on our website.
  2. Add your Jack Russell as a courtesy listing on the “Adoption Sites” that our Jacks are featured. These are sites such as   Petfinder, Pets 911, Adopt-A-Pet, etc. These are websites that search  engines might suggest to someone using the Internet to find a Jack Russell available for adoption.
  3. Offer suggestions how to screen prospective adopters you find for your Jack Russell.
  4. Offer training advice to modify your Jack’s behavior so that you may decide to keep them.

Except for special circumstances, while we look for an appropriate new home and family for your Jack Russell we believe it will be easiest on your Jack if they can remain with you in your home. While it may be hard for you to say goodbye to your Jack Russell, re homing will be equally upsetting for them as well. Sometimes although we would like to assist you with re homing your Russell we just don't have enough foster homes or our current foster homes are full.

If we do have room available for your Jack and we would consider accepting them into our program, we ask that you schedule an appointment for your dog to be evaluated. Before the day of your appointment you will have received an email from us, which will consist of a basic questionnaire form to fill out in its entirety. Also you will be asked to write about your dog including things that you like or dislike about them. We ask that you be forthright and honest about your dog as this will help us to find the best home suited for your Russell. A copy of this paperwork could possibly be given to the new adopter’s of your dog. Your personal information will NEVER be given out. However if you would like to give the new adopter’s the option to contact you that can certainly be conveyed. 

On the day of your appointment we ask that you bring with you any registration paperwork that belongs to your dog, as well as a current vaccination record, including a valid Rabies certificate, and a Spay or Neuter certificate. During this appointment we will be assessing any obvious medical issues your dog may have, but more importantly we will be evaluating your dogs temperament. If your dog’s assessment and evaluation are favorable we will ask you to sign a form stating that you are the dogs owner, and that you are surrendering physical custody of your dog and are relinquishing ownership to Robbin’s Rescued Russells for the intent purpose of re homing your dog through adoption.

Please do not ask us to accept your dog into our program if they have a bite history or are known to be overly aggressive towards people. If your dog had an isolated incident where they have bitten someone we need to know about it. We know that dogs bite for a variety of reasons and we would like you to tell us the details regarding the incident.
