Adopting a Jack Russell Terrier usually involves completing an application form, meeting the dog in person, and agreeing to any checks or requirements set by the current owner or rescue organisation. This helps ensure the Jack Russell is matched with the right home.
Before adopting a Jack Russell, consider the breed's exercise needs, grooming requirements, and temperament. Understanding the typical traits of a Jack Russell can help you decide if it's the right fit for your lifestyle.
