Russell

Can you believe it? I’ve been set free from what I thought was going to be my demise. These past few weeks on the outside have shown me just how fantastic life can be! I’m Russell & my curly hair is even growing back. I think I look so handsome. 🩵

In my short time with a foster family, I’ve learned a lot. I learned that when I stay in my crate, I’ll get a yummy chew treat, & my mom will always let me out of there. I’m learning to trust & love, so I’d much rather be with my people or the family dogs. Certain sounds or sudden movements may frighten me & I may bark a bit. I’ve learned that to walk on a leash allows me to sniff EVERYTHING, even though some sounds may scare me (like those loud motorcycles 🏍️). I’m doing well with house training, as long as I go outside regularly. My mom always says, “Good boy, Russell!”

I have a lot of energy, so I would really love other dogs (or cats or humans) to play with everyday! Most of all, I’m learning that the human touch can be gentle & kind, & no one will ever use me or hurt me again.

Will you give me a chance? I’m still a puppy, so we can grow old together. Please apply for me, Russell. ❤️
