Russel's Story

Meet Russel! <br/><br/>Russel is a sweet senior gentleman looking for a comfy couch, a lap to snuggle on, and someone to call his own. His idea of the perfect day? Curling up next to his favorite person for a good Netflix binge. <br/><br/>This handsome guy is affectionate, easygoing, and greets everyone he meets with a happy wagging tail. He rides great in the car, isn't bothered by storms, and best of all, Russel is house trained! He has had zero accidents since his first few days of settling into his foster home.<br/><br/>Since Russel is an older gentleman, he would be happiest in a single-level home or a home with minimal stairs so his joints don't have to work too hard. He also needs a home without cats.<br/><br/>We currently don't know how Russel does with dogs, children, or chickens.<br/><br/>Russel really doesn't ask for much. Give him a warm place to sleep, a person to stay close to, some good snacks, and a spot on the couch, and he's a happy guy. <br/><br/>He has so much love left to give and deserves to spend his golden years being spoiled and loved.<br/><br/> Got an open spot on your couch? Russel is ready to fill it!
