Russell's Story

Meet Russell Crowe <br/><br/>Russell is a 6-month-old GSD/Pit mix with those classic shepherd looks and a soft, soulful personality to match. He's expected to grow into a big, handsome boy around 80–85 lbs.<br/><br/>Russell came from a tough start—rescued alongside his brother Joaquin from a backyard in Kitsap County where they were living in poor condition. Thanks to a kind-hearted Good Samaritan, they were brought to safety, nourished, and eventually made their way to us at NWWR. After getting the care they needed from our vet, Russell began his new chapter in a loving foster home.<br/><br/>This sweet boy is the definition of a gentle soul. He can be a little shy at first, but give him some time, patience, and a few treats, and you'll see his true colors shine. Once he trusts you, he's incredibly affectionate—expect soft cuddles, little kisses, and a loyal companion who just wants to be close to his person.<br/><br/>Russell does well with other dogs, cats, and respectful kids. Because he can be a bit skittish, he'd do best with older kiddos (8+) or dog-savvy younger ones. He's fully potty trained (with supervision), crate trained, and currently working on building confidence and leash skills—he's still a puppy, after all, and a total blank slate ready to learn!<br/><br/>His ideal home? A calm, patient environment with another friendly dog to help show him the ropes, plus a fully fenced yard where he can feel safe while he continues to grow and gain confidence.<br/><br/>Russell loves squeaky toys, enjoys a good chew session, and will never turn down peanut butter. While he's not the most adventurous guy just yet, with time, love, and trust, he just might surprise you.<br/><br/> If Russell could write his own dating profile:<br/>“Sweet, sensitive guy seeking a forever family. I may be a little shy at first, but once I love you, I really love you. Looking for someone to share cozy moments, gentle adventures, and help me feel safe in this big world.”<br/><br/>Russell is ready to find his person—the one who will show him that the best is yet to come.<br/><br/>Up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heart worm negative and being neutered on 4/6<br/><br/>Adoption fee $500<br/><br/>www.northwestwagrescue.org
