Russell's Story

What’s your name? <br/>Russell<br/><br/>How old are you? <br/>2 years old<br/><br/>Where are you located? <br/>Houston, TX<br/><br/>How much do you weigh?<br/>10 pounds<br/><br/>What’s your adoption fee?<br/>$350<br/>I'm a Chinese Crested/ Chihuahua <br/><br/>What is your favorite thing to do? <br/>Chew sticks and leaves! Sometimes I join my sister, Keri, and do zoomies around the yard. She's faster than me but it's still fun!<br/><br/>What is your favorite food or treat? <br/>I haven't had food or treats that I don't like! <br/><br/>Where do you like to sleep? <br/>I usually sleep in a dog bed on the floor next to the big bed. I haven't gotten brave enough to join everyone in foster mom's bed yet. I run up the dog ramp then chicken out and run back down. <br/>Update: I sneak up onto the bed after everyone is asleep. Foster mom usually wakes up to me cuddling with her.<br/><br/>What is your ideal home? <br/>I think I would be good with kids once I get over being shy. Kids would help me get my energy out. If my future home doesn't have kids, I would love an active companion to play with. An occasional walk or trip to the dog park would be great!<br/><br/>Do you have any health issues? <br/>Not that I know of<br/><br/>Do you have any personality quirks?<br/>I can be kind of a spazz. I know how to chill and be a calm dog but sometimes I just go wild! It's mostly outside when everyone is playing. I don't have a favorite friend to play with so I play with everyone all at once. <br/><br/>Do you get along with other dogs, cats, or kids?<br/>Dogs, yes. Kids and cats, I don't know about that. I think I would be okay with cats but it would definitely take some time for me to warm up to kids.<br/><br/>Do you like car rides? <br/>Yes and no. I ride fine but it's not my favorite thing to do. I just haven't had a lot of experience riding in cars. I think I can learn to like it.<br/><br/>How are your potty manners?<br/>Pretty good! I go outside most of the time but will occasionally mark inside. I'm wearing a belly band and learning to not go inside. I'm getting better every day!<br/><br/>Any additional info you’d like to share?<br/>I might steal clothes and shoes. Foster mom isn't sure if it's me or my sister who actually takes them but sometimes I'm found holding them. Either way, I play innocent and totally get away with it! Also, foster mom says that I'm turning into a cuddle bug. I don't know what that's about. I don't want to be a bug. I like being a dog!<br/> <br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting, complete an application online, http://chinesecrestedrescue.org/application-adopt-volunteer/<br/><br/>To contact us, please send an email to info@chinesecrestedrescue.org<br/>PetFinder inquiries may not be answered, email is preferred.
