Show 48 more pets Back to top [All adoptable pets](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/) [How this list works](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/how-it-works/) Listings from 348 North Carolina shelters and rescues, checked October 17, 2026. Each pet links to its shelter, and the full list is on [shelters and rescues](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/shelters/). Pets are adopted every day, so a pet shown here may already have found a home. ## What the list shows today The 54 Jack Russell terriers on the list today are spread across 21 counties; the most are listed in Moore County (15), Wake County (8) and Catawba County (4). About 70% are listed by rescues and 30% by public and nonprofit shelters, and about 72% live in foster homes rather than at a shelter, so a visit may need an appointment. Of the 42 with an age listed, the typical (median) age is about 4 years. From the shelter and rescue listings NC Pet Project read on October 17, 2026. Each shelter sets its own labels, ages and foster status. ## About Jack Russell terriers Jack Russells are energetic, determined dogs that are often affectionate with family but can be independent. A strong prey drive may lead them to chase small animals, so they need plenty of exercise and things to do. Breed labels come from each shelter. They are a staff member's best guess from a pet's looks, not a DNA test, so a pet listed here may be a different mix, and a pet of this breed may be listed under another label. Before you adopt, read our guides to [adopting versus buying a dog in NC](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt-vs-buy-dog-nc/) and [when to spay or neuter a dog by size](https://ncpetproject.org/spay-neuter-timing/).
