A Refuge for Unwanted Jack Russell Terriers

Happy New Year to all of our Refuge supporters! We’ve started the year off with some wonderful adoptions. Our timid and nervous Darla found her forever home as did Penny, Buddy and a few short term residents. Thank you to those sterling homes who started 2010 with a bang.

Our sincere thanks for all of the wonderful Christmas boxes of dog cookies (many that were home made) and the fleece blankets that keep the dogs warm and wash so easily. And for the tennis balls and chewies and the squeaky toys that, to our delight, were eviscerated in minutes. Expect every JRT owner can relate to the joy of watching the stuffing flying! Not that we need any "snow" cover as we have been experiencing a deep freeze. And though the Snuggler coats keep our charges warm and toasty, they are not all that happy about having to go for their walks over snow and ice. Of course, we suspect that they find our efforts to keep ourselves warm by bundling up against the below freezing temps a bit amusing. :-) No doubt we're all looking forward to the Spring or at least some melting of the snow/ice pack.

Remember Miles? The young terrier with the badly broken leg? Look at him now enjoying a romp on the beach and being held close by his new owners. If it had not been for all of you who contributed to his surgery, Miles would not have found his forever home. We took the chance and you supported us in our quest to help. Thank you ALL for helping us help Miles. This would never have happened without all of YOU!!!!

We look forward to hearing from all our supporters; your stories and pictures make us smile. Wishes for warmer weather and fewer homeless dogs. When you are ready to bring another terrier into your life, we hope you'll consider adopting one. We'll all be waiting...

Thank you from all of the Refuge volunteers
