My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Flintstones… Meet the Flintstones!**

Okay fine — *the Pupstones.*
Say hello to **Fred & Barney**, two 6-month-old Jack Russell Terrier brothers (~10 lbs each) who see life as one giant quarry of toys, zoomies, and adventures.

**Their vibe:**
**Energy level:** Think “daily 5K + brain games” level energy.
**House training:** A work in progress — accidents will happen while they learn.
**Temperament:** Absurdly affectionate, goofy, and totally “lovable little gremlins” — smart, curious, and hilarious.

**They’ll thrive with:**
‍ An active, patient home that *gets* high-energy terriers.
Structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement (they’re food-motivated and eager to please).
‍ Daily exercise and enrichment — sniff walks, puzzle toys, training games, you name it.

**Translation:**
If you’re looking for couch décor, these aren’t your guys.
But if you want a dynamic duo who’ll make you laugh every day, learn quickly with your guidance, and snuggle hard after the chaos — **yabba-dabba-do it!**

They can be adopted together or separate!

More about this rescue

Russell Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) dog rescue organization. It was started in 2008 by Mary Ruth Rogers of Columbia, TN. Our mission is to save and re-home unloved, abandoned and abused dogs, especially the Jack Russell terrier. Most of our dogs come from high kill shelters in Tennessee, and other nearby states.
