Story

Bacon is a 11 yr old 22 lb Jrt that came from a hoarding situation. He and his siblings were very scared and unsure of what was in store for them. Bacon is thought to be deaf. Consider giving this handsome guy a loving and understanding place to live out his days and enjoy the rest of his life. He is still learning to trust people so isn't a lap dog or cuddler. It will take time to build a relationship. Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.The application is the first step.

Story

URGENT: Foster or adopter Needed!! My heart is heavy writing this. Johnny and Tommy need a foster home this weekend if at all possible.These sweet boys are 11-year-old full brothers, small at just 15–20 pounds.Since they were puppies (around 6–8 months old), they’ve lived on a farm where they’ve truly been the guardians of the land—an alarm system for anything that drives onto the property. They’ve peacefully lived alongside other dogs, goats, horses, donkeys, and pigs. They’re used to being outdoors most of the time and were brought inside during bad weather. They are not house trained, but they are smart, food-motivated, and eager to please.They love treats and warm up quickly to people who come bearing snacks.Johnny’s past hasn’t been easy. He was kicked by a previous owner wearing boots, so he can be skittish—especially around boots—and has some anxiety with crates and car rides. Despite that, he has so much love to give once he feels safe.They’ve been fed pedigree kibble and have known a simple, consistent life.These boys don’t understand why things are changing. They deserve a soft place to land!If you can foster—or know someone who can, please reach out. Giving Johnny and Tommy a home right now would mean everything to them… and to all of us trying to help them.

Story

Look at our beautiful Clover! Clover is one of the TX 8, rescued from horrible living conditions—and just look at her now. This sweet girl is thriving in her foster home and finally getting to experience the love and comfort she always deserved. Now there’s just one thing missing… a forever family of her very own. Could Clover be your girl? Applications are open—apply now!https://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/ This dog is part of a group of Jack Russell Terriers rescued from a Texas hoarding/breeding situation and is currently beginning the transition into rescue care. While we are still getting to know their individual personality, one thing is certain — they deserve the chance to experience safety, comfort, and life as a beloved companion.Many dogs from situations like this have spent much of their lives with limited socialization and little exposure to normal home environments. Because of this, they may need time, patience, and understanding as they learn routines, build confidence, and adjust to a new way of life.These dogs are expected to thrive in homes willing to offer kindness, consistency, and compassion while allowing them to decompress at their own pace. Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Age: Estimated adult Rescue Intake: Texas hoarding/breeding situation Adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccines, and appropriate vetting, harness, and leashWe believe every dog deserves the opportunity to feel safe, loved, and part of a family — and this dog is no exception.October 15, 2026, 1:46 am
