FOUND Jack Russell

Young Oliver was taken from his yard in Windsor on the morning of May 19, 2007. For weeks, his owner Melissa tried everything: postering, calling vets to see if anyone called him in, calling pet stores, humane society and even the JRTCC. On June 12, Oliver made the evening news and from that came the miracle phone call: Oliver was Found!

Oliver was returned home that night, home safe and sound.

In Melissa’s words, here’s what happened:
We had so much response [from the news item] that we were running all over the city...At about 9:30 we had a call from a lady 7 blocks away in an apartment building saying that some tenants had a dog that looked like the dog on the News and she swears it’s him. So we went down there. My husband knocked, she opened the door and when Ollie heard my husband’s voice, he came running at us. The lady says "Hey that’s my dog." My husband replies it’s our dog and we’ll be back with the police. Everyone was crying the landlady included. He’s so skinny and acting a little scared but he’s home and safe now and that’s all that counts really.

So the Rule of Russells is: Never Give Up .

MEMORIAL TO HARPER

Harper was adopted through the JRTRO in September 2004. In December 2006, his owner was walking her dogs in a park in Guelph, when tragically, Harper was caught in an illegally set conibear trap, and died. The Ministry of Natural Resources (Ont) is harperinvestigating, but to date no charges have been laid. As a tribute to Harper, we republish here the Memorial to Harper from the JRT Rescue website.

Racing at the Royal

In January of 2006, Janice Blakeney, the Horse Show Co-ordinator for The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto approached the JRTCC, asking us to do a JRT Racing Demonstration at the Fair. As many of you know, we have done events at the Royal for years, however, this was something special.

This agreement offers members on both sides of the border a cost savings to dual register their terriers in both countries, allowing their dogs to participate in National and Regional trials. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, you need to be a current member of both clubs.
