Russell's Story

Meet Russell, a sweet and charming boy who’s the ideal companion! At around 7-8 years old and weighing 90 pounds. Russell is ready to bring his gentle spirit and playful nature into your home. While he may need a few days to warm up and fearful to new people, once he’s comfortable, and secure in his routine, he transforms into the perfect buddy. Patience is a vurtue and needed at first with Russell. It doesn’t take him long to shine! Russell loves playtime, especially fetch, and stays laser-focused on any ball that comes his way. When it’s time to relax, his calm and well-mannered demeanor shines. He’s crate-trained, housebroken, and doesn’t chew on anything but his own toys. Russell would thrive as the only dog in a home where he can receive all the attention he deserves. Though he’s had positive interactions with female dogs and has shown no reaction to males, his behavior around cats hasn’t been assessed yet. He prefers a quiet home where he has full run of the house and fenced in yard, not a big party dog, so really wants his home to be his sanctuary. He does not like anyone to touch his hind side or hind paws. His loyalty and love once he knows your his human or humans are unmatched. He just needs the time and space to get used to his new surroundings. Russell is already neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and protected with preventive care. Whether you’re looking for an energetic playmate or a mellow best friend, Russell is ready to fill your days with joy, laughter, and plenty of love.
