Be careful with Jack Russels – some of them are wonderful, funny, companion dogs. Others will drive you absolutely crazy with their level of hyperactivity. I bet if you were willing to go to Chicago you could get a rescue to adopt one out to you. Many rescues don’t care about distance.

That sucks! Sometimes the breed rescues can be snoody. I volunteered for a couple non- breed specific rescues and they were very open – if you are open to a jack russel mix you might have more flexibility from the rescues.

I am curious to the why behind the distance. Is that a common requirement when adopting from a rescue?

my guess is so that they can keep track of the dogs? just a guess though.

But they have your address…that’s silly. There are rescues and shelters with whom they can partner with to do home visits and check ins.
I’m sure that your guess is close to accurate.

That is really true – and also true about the disorganization. I worked with 2 very organized rescues in California. But in Idaho things are not so organized and there is poor leadership. I finally stopped rescuing dogs because of it and have been doing cat rescue instead – though I think that has come to and end as well because my recent…[Read more]

Thanks for posting. I think people underestimate how boring some dogs’ lives are. Bordom leads to all kinds of unhealthy behavior – chewing, barking, running away, etc. Isolation is also a big problem since dogs are pack animals and prefer to have at least one companion with them at all times.
