Russell

Meet Russell <br/>Russell is a handsome, neutered, chipped 212-year-old, 56-pound boy who is 50% Chow Chow and has the cutest black tongue! He’s a smart, energetic dog who loves having a big yard where he can run and explore. He will happily sit outside with you for hours and he is not a barker! <br/>Russell is fully housebroken and goes in a crate occasionally. He knows his basic commands and has learned quite a bit beyond them. He’s a bright dog who enjoys learning and engaging with his people.<br/><br/>Russell can be crabby at times and has resource-guarding tendencies. These behaviors are something his new family will need to understand and work with.<br/><br/>He has always been good with kids, although we feel a home without children would be the best fit for him. Russell needs to be the only dog in the home. Unfortunately, he does not get along with our other dog, which is why we are looking for a new home for him. He has no experience with cats so would recommend he be the only pet. <br/>We have worked with a trainer to try to make the situation with our other dog work. While we ultimately determined that Russell would be happiest as the only dog, we want to make his transition to a new home as easy as possible. We will provide his trainer’s contact information if you’d like to work with someone to acclimate him to his new home.<br/>Aside from this, he is a very sweet dog who loves cuddles. Russell is very healthy and has so much potential to thrive with the right person or family. He is a special boy who deserves a home that is the right match for him.<br/>This decision isn’t because he is a bad dog; it’s because we recognize that being the only dog in the home is what will give him the best opportunity to be happy and successful. We’re committed to helping his new family get to know him and giving them the tools and support we can along the way. To meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. His adoption fee is $150.<br/><br/>Adoption fee includes:<br/>- microchip<br/>- spay/neuter<br/>- age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies<br/>- heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive <br/>- deworming
