Parson Russell Terrier Rescue Network is a dedicated effort to find and re-home Parson Russell Terriers that, through no fault of their own, are in need of new homes. Some of these dogs are recovered from shelters and pounds, others come from private families. The dogs in shelters have often been "dumped" there by individuals or picked up by animal control agencies after being abandoned. Individual families sometimes cannot keep a dog due to a change in circumstances or, too often, because theirs was the wrong type of enviroment for a Parson Russell in the first place. As the Parson Russell grows in popularity and more and more people purchase them without first doing the proper research, the problem of unwanted dogs is growing. The goal of the Parson Russell Terrier Rescue Network is to recover misplaced and unwanted Parson Russell Terriers and place them into proper homes before they must be destroyed.

Rescue Parsons come in all shapes, sizes and personalities. They are carefully evaluated when they come into rescue for physical and mental problems. Their health is seen to and behavioral problems are accessed and addressed. We then begin the task of locating a proper home where the dog can be himself and be happy.

If you think you might be right for a Parson Russell but don't want to start with a puppy, please consider opening your heart and home to a Rescue Russell. To find out more about rescue in your area, get an adoption application form or to see about volunteering as a Foster Home for dogs in need, please contact the Rescue Representative nearest you.
