Rescue
 
Several years ago we were at the Jack Russell trials in upper Ohio and were approached by the rescue person for Ohio.  She was affiliated with the JRTCA , an organization that registers the long-legged Jack Russells.  We spoke with her about how the rescue programs work and volunteered to be a foster home for unwanted or needy Jack Russells.
 
Well.... that was the beginning of a lifelong project.  We started with one female Jack that day and have placed over 2000 other Jack Russells since then.
 
This is how it works...
 
Sometimes people buy puppies on a whim and have no idea what they are getting in to.  They buy because they are cute and 6 months later they are tired of the responsibility and want to get rid of them.  That's why we rescue.  We take those dogs in, evaluate them, work on bad habits, spay/neuter, update shots and find appropriate homes for them to move to.  Now, sometimes they are brought in for other reasons, like a death of an owner, allergies, new baby, relocation, new job hours  - no time for the dog, etc., etc., etc.
 
There are a lot of legitimate reasons why you can't keep a dog, but sometimes it is just a lack of responsibility.  At any cost, we take them in for whatever reason. 

If the dog was not brought in for aggression we start looking for a home that matches that dogs needs and screen new owners so that this is the last home for the dog.  If we do not find a home right away, they stay here on our farm and become part of the Claddagh family.  We do not euthanize or turn any dogs into shelters.  We are the last stop if they do not find an adoptive family.

You can call or e-mail us about our program and take a look at some of our current rescues up for adoption.  If  you are interested we'd be happy to talk with you..    937-364-6193

 

Rescues are $200.  They have had their shots, wormed, started on heartworm prevention.  Adults have been neutered and spayed.

 

WE HAVE NO RESCUES AT THIS TIME!!! FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS!!!  WE WILL BE GETTING TWO IN IN APRIL>>>
