What Jack Russells are like to live with
The Royal Kennel Club calls the Jack Russell Terrier a "modern descendent of the hardy terriers developed by the Rev John Russell". Its roots are in the working terriers of the British Isles, and The Royal Kennel Club says it is hoped the breed "will remain essentially a working Terrier both in type and temperament". The breed standard describes the temperament as "bold, fearless, friendly and confident".

Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
What is the difference between a Jack Russell and a Parson Russell?
They are separate breeds. The Royal Kennel Club recognised the Parson Russell Terrier in 1990 and changed its name in 1999 to tell it apart from the Jack Russell, which it recognised in 2016. UK Jack Russell breeders kept a type similar to the Parson Russell in proportion, but in a smaller frame.
How much exercise does a Jack Russell need?
The Royal Kennel Club says up to an hour a day, while PDSA and Battersea both say at least an hour, plus play and training. Battersea says owners often underestimate how much exercise these small dogs need. Ask the rescue about this dog, as age and health make a difference.
Are Jack Russells good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 5 Jack Russells listed in and around Blackpool as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Can I get a free Jack Russell to a good home in Blackpool, or one under £500?
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.

Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
