Four years later, Russell finds himself in need of rescue again as his mom is now an angel watching over him from Heaven. We have once again committed to Russell and we are in desperate and urgent need of a foster home for him. He is already neutered and up to date on all vetting. Due to some extenuating circumstances, Russell is very thin and has a little bit of food guarding issues due to lack of being fed over the last couple of weeks. We were also told that he can be protective of his human but again we believe this is 100% situational and along with the food guarding is absolutely workable and will correct itself when he is safe and secure in a home. Please consider fostering the sweet boy whose world has been turned upside down. 4/18/24 UPDATE...Russell arrived at his Kentucky foster home last weekend. He is sad and confused but is doing OK. He is eating well and is being allowed to decompress and adjust to allllll of the recent loss and changes in his life. We will post more updates soon!! 5/13/24 UPDATE...Russell arrived at Prestige Pets in Minnesota where he will be given time to chill out, decompress, then be evaluated with other dogs with slow and controlled intros. They will also be working with him on his resource guarding of food with other dogs. 9/17/24 UPDATE FROM KELLY AT PRESTIGE PETS......Russell is good with other dogs given proper introductions and his two week shutdown/decompression. I have not seen any issues with food or toys, even high value toys. He is a very good boy. Russell keeps a very clean kennel all of the time and not one issue there or even his leash manners now. He loves to give hugs and is happy on the couch next to you while you play video games or watch movies. He rarely barks and is very happy to greet you every day, even if you were only gone for 2 minutes LOL Russell will follow basic commands with ease given a proper time to bond with his people. He doesn’t get into trouble or need to be constantly watched. I’ve left him out overnight without any issues when I’m here of course. He hasn’t had one issue or gotten into anything. His favorite place is right next to his people and very loyal once bonded. Russell seems to love men more than women these days but here I'm the rulekeeper and Josh is the rulebreaker and loves on all of the dogs all of the time :) 2/6/25 FROM KELLY: Russell has the most amazing smile and hugs ever! He is happiest at your side doing everyday tasks and getting loving all day long. He loves to lay around but also loves to run, walk and play fetch. Russell walks well on a leash, is potty trained, crate trained and has the best manners! Maybe your Russell’s forever best friend?!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
