Sportsmen’s Show 2009

The Jack Russell Terrier had double ambassadors at the show this year, with JRTCC and JRTRO members staffing 2 booths where people could visit and learn about the little guys. Sally and two sportsmen. Thanks to all the Volunteers who gave of their time to help promote the breed, inform the public of our organization and invite people to upcoming events.

Here is a list of the Volunteers who staffed the JRTCC booth: Sally Holmes, Rose Reid, Gaye Redpath, Elyse Dinsmore, Shirley Buist, Kay Seawright & Family, Bill & Carol Smart, Chris Wardell, Rosie VanBemmel & Family, Debby MacFarlane and Sue Lubchynski. When you see these helpful people, say thanks, because without them, we would not have been able to successfully run the booth! -- Thanks from Bob Boyd, President & Pam Chiappetta, Registrar.

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
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.
