2 year old Teddy is available
This beautiful rough coated boy is full of love to give - he enjoys laps and kids and playing and running. Teddy is dog selective, and he is an escape artist so we are looking for a home that can accommodate that. He is located in north San Diego county.

Pigeon is a 1.5 year old, female Jack Russell Terrier (~15 lbs, smooth coat, “shorty” style) seeking an experienced terrier home that is willing to continue working with her. In January she wound up in a county animal shelter, where her mental wellbeing quickly deteriorated in the loud, noisy environment. She was adopted, but returned 2 days later for being “too young”. Like many terriers, Pigeon is easily aroused and upon being returned to the shelter, her arousal levels tipped into negative behaviors with the constant onslaught of dogs barking. While being walked past kennels of dogs, Pigeon became worked up and frustrated, and inflicted a redirection bite on a volunteer.
Since coming to foster and having time to decompress from the overwhelming shelter environment — Pigeon’s behaviors have improved tremendously. Pigeon must be the only pet, and is not friendly towards other dogs. However, she does live with other dogs in her foster home and has learned to successfully ignore them in a crate/rotate situation — but this is not a long term solution. In her foster home, she has not demonstrated the same redirection biting behavior she displayed at the shelter, although seeing other dogs getting excited or noisy does trigger her arousal — she can stay under threshold enough to be called away from the excitement. Pigeon has also displayed some compulsive type behaviors such as tail chasing or incessant pacing when excited. Her new owner should be comfortable in continuing the work of teaching Pigeon how to settle herself down.
Pigeon’s big feelings about dogs is the bulk of her challenges — here is some great stuff about Pigeon! She makes an excellent and well behaved pet that can settle on the couch with you, and is quite sweet. She’s been very friendly with all people she’s met, welcoming guests into her home and she is quite adept at snuggling when all her energy/enrichment needs have been met. She shows no signs o
Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe was rescued from a Calexico Shelter by a foster in Encinitas. His homecoming there did not go well as he was not fond of the fosters dog. One of fabulous volunteers in Long Beach drove all the way down to Encinitas to get Russell until we could figure out a place for him to go. At first Russell was stressed out and confused but Jen showed him patience and care and he calmed down some but who would be the right family for Russell? He’s untrusting (who can blame him?), reactive, etc.. Then I interviewed Rosa. Their family lost their senior JRT almost a year ago. He was her husband’s BFF. When they saw Russell on our page, they knew they had to have him. They’ve dealt with the crazy that can come along with a Jack. They were unfazed by the truth of what we know so far.
Today they went to pick Russell up. Jen sent me this video and 😭!! Russell had not once displayed this type of joy since he was pulled from the shelter! All our hearts are so full ❤️
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. This is why we rescue.
Manny was miserable when foster mom Kaye picked him up from the shelter. He went straight to urgent care. Today, though, we are happy to report that not only is his health improved but he has HAPPY EARS!
Donations for his vet bill would be greatly appreciated!

Regrettably, Thor is back on the market. Thor is 3 years old and very smart. He seems to have some trust issues and it appears his original owners may not have been “Jack savy” and allowed him to be the boss of the house.
We matched him up with a good home with a man who was able to give Thor a lot of time and attention but Thor is not adapting. He was previously in a home with younger children and was unpredictable, so a home with no children is preferred. We are uncertain about his compatibility with other animals so for now he should be your one and only.
Thor definitely needs a Jack savy home with someone who understands and uses positive training.
If you believe you may be able to give Thor a chance to be a successful part of your home please submit an application at http://jackrussellrescueca.org/adopt/
If you already have an application on file or have questions, please reach out to Shannon at [email protected]
Johnny is SAFE and settling into his temporary foster’s home ♥️. We have reason to believe this beautiful rough coat has not been used to a lot of human interaction ♥️. He was very stressed at the shelter and was deteriorating behaviorally.
Nothing says joy like being in a new home with your new bestie❤️
Congratulations Pippin!
Princess rejoicing in her release from the shelter; a fresh roll in the grass before the ride home with her foster family. Her Christmas wish came true❤️

Thunder is coming right along...
