Russell's Story

Russell is an incredibly sweet, snuggly, and spunky little guy - truly a wonderful Terrier.<br/>He has been good with young children (3-6), done well with the other dogs he's met, and enjoys talking to and trying to play with 4 outdoor rescue kitties he can interact with through a fence line, so we think he will do quite well with a resident cat. <br/><br/>He is one of 4 Terrier mixes abandoned in a very rural neighbor's backyard and never claimed (it seems they were from a backyard breeding project, as other similar dogs were also found by others in the general area and owners never found). The finder was unable to keep them, as he had his own dogs and all 4 *can* climb chain link/welded wire. He and his assumed to be brothers (Rusty, Rascal, and Romeo, the TerrieRs) then had a foster offer in Washington, where they were neutered and finished their vetting. <br/><br/>Russell is incredibly sweet, and loves to snuggle. He jumps with joy when you walk up to him, and just has the perfect mix of sweetness and playfulness - he could do well in a variety of home settings. He is crate trained, and has done well in a home with close supervision and interaction, but has not been left to free-roam the house unsupervised (between being 4 intact male dogs, and then crate rest after neuter), but we think he'd be very well-behaved. He has had no crate accidents, and let's people know when he would like to go out/go potty. <br/>Because he can climb chain link and welded wire, his main consideration is an adoptive home where he cannot climb out if momentarily bored or lonely, so preferred homes will have wood or vinyl fencing - he would also do well in an apartment setting or similar, where his time outside is supervised or leashed. <br/><br/>Russell can be transported to CA for adoption around the middle of October ?

We ask applicants to complete and return our adoption application, and discuss the behavior background and considerations of the dog(s) as well as animals in home. We then schedule a meet and greet with the family and possibly pets. If all goes well, a home check is performed for common risks, and if all checks out, an adoption contract is completed, a drop off day arranged, adoption fees paid, and pup goes home with a 1 week transition of food.
