Russet's Story

Hi, I'm Russet (Rusty)! I'm a cute little potato who has been hanging out with my foster family for a few weeks now. Foster mom says if her house wasn't already full, she would foster fail with me...I'm that good!<br/><br/>I'm doing really well with potty training, and I sleep through most of the night like a champ. If I need to go outside, I'll either sit by the back door or give a soft little whine if I'm in my crate. And speaking of my crate...I love it! I sleep in there, relax in there, and sometimes just hang out and entertain myself.<br/><br/>I play hard, whether I'm entertaining myself or running around with my foster siblings, so naturally I take lots of naps to recharge. I'm a social little guy and get excited when I meet new people. I'm great with children, too, and love having new friends to play with! I'm also starting to find my voice a little more when I play with others. And since I'm teething, sometimes I need a little reminder that my toys are for chewing...but luckily, I have plenty of favorites!<br/><br/>And one of my absolute favorite things? Cuddles! Especially right after I wake up from a nap or after I've worn myself out playing. That's when I'm more than happy to curl up with you and soak up some love.<br/><br/>I'm playful, cuddly, smart, and full of personality. I've already figured out a lot about being a very good boy, and now I'm ready to find my furever home!<br/><br/>Russet is a male Chihuahua/Terrier mix with an estimated date of birth of 6/30/26. As of 8/29, he weighs 4.6 lbs.

K-9 Angels Rescue's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION FEEs: CASH or CHECK ONLY DOGS $200 ($275 for Puppies) - includes spay/neuter alteration, shots, microchip, medicines and other medical procedures, if necessary. OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS: Due to the Coronavirus we are suspending out of state adoptions until further notice. Our puppies can only be adopted to the immediate Houston vicinity as it takes 4 months for complete vetting by our Houston veterinarian. We have been inundated with too many applications and, going forward, we will only review applications for people who currently have a dog or who have had a dog where the vet reference is in THE APPLICANT's name. We are unable to respond to email inquiries and requests for updates as we do not have the staff or capacity to handle all the emails/applications we are receiving. We will contact you via email with approvals and/or requests should we need additional information. When we reopen for adoptions it will be by appointment only for pre-approved adopters with good vet references. We will continue to do 3rd and 4th vaccinations for any previously adopted puppies from 10am-12pm on Saturdays at the adoption center. Please follow instructions upon your arrival there.
