Robbin’s Rescued Russells

Adoption Process

If you find one or more Jack Russells that you are interested in, currently available through Robbin's Rescued Russells please send an email to Robbin's Rescued Russells with the Terrier’s name that you are interested in the subject line. If you don’t have adoption interest in any of the Terriers Robbin’s Rescued Russells currently has available but are looking to adopt a Russell send an email to Robbin's Rescued Russells with JRT adoption in the subject line. A reply email will be sent to you with an Adoption Application attached. Please fill it out in its entirety. Please be realistic and forthright in your answers as this will be used as a guideline and help me find the Terrier that best fits your lifestyle and the qualities that you desire in a pet. Please include any additional information about your family, lifestyle and particular desires you would like to see in your Jack Russell. After completion send an email back to Robbin’s Rescued Russells and include the Adoption Application as an attachment.

If your email was specific about a Terrier I have available, my reply email will include additional pictures and information about that Terrier(s).

If your adoption interest wasn't specific about one of our Russells, I will review your application, and if, & when I know of a Jack Russell Terrier that is available for adoption through another rescue that may be a match for you, I will contact that rescue and let them know that you may be interested in one of their Terriers. After that you and the other rescue can deal directly with each other.

If I don’t know of a Terrier currently available for adoption that fits your criteria, I will email you if I learn that one has become available. It would be a good idea to send a reminder email every two weeks if you haven’t received one from me.

If I have a Terrier available that you are interested in, the next step after completing the Adoption Application will be a visit to your home by a representative of RRR or if you are not in the area of Robbin’s Rescued Russells then another respected rescue representative will perform a “Home Visit”. A home visit is done to ensure that your house is “Terrier Proof” and if not suggestions will be offered so as to provide a safe environment for a Jack Russell Terrier. At this time I will also be checking your Veterinarian and personal references.

Next a Meet N Greet will be scheduled. When scheduling the Meet N Greet I ask that you plan to spend at least two hours with the Jack Russell you have adoption interest in. Depending on the distance from the city you live in and Robbin’s Rescued Russells it is possible that arrangements can be made to meet at a ‘halfway” point. You will be expected to cover the actual expenses incurred by Robbin’s Rescued Russells to meet halfway. This is where, you and the entire members of your household can personally meet and spend time with the Terrier you are interested in. Please bring any and ALL dogs living in your household to the Meet N Greet. The reason for this request is it will be a neutral place to introduce the dogs and I am knowledgeable about assessing if the dogs can live amicably in a household. Please plan on spending a minimum of two hours at the Meet N Greet. Please bring with you an appropriate travel crate, leash, and flat buckle collar with you to the Meet N Greet.

If it is agreed that your adoption of the Terrier is in the best interest of both the Terrier and you, then you will be given an Adoption Contract to read, sign, and return to the Robbin’s Rescued Russells representative. Also you will be asked to pay the adoption fee. At that time you will be given copies of any/all paperwork regarding the Terrier, and a copy of the Adoption Contract will be given to you. You will also be given a three-day supply of dry kibble dog food that the Terrier is used to eating. You can take your new family member home with you at this time.

If during the next seven days you decide that the Jack Russell is not working out then upon surrendering the Jack Russell to Robbin’s Rescued Russells I will refund 100% of the adoption fee. Again arrangements can be made to meet at a “half way” point. After the seven days has passed, the adoption fee is non-refundable.
