Hi, I am Russell. My foster family is guessing I am around 5-6 months old and a bully breed mix. Right now I am 35 pounds, but based on the size of my paws and tail, they're telling me I am going to be a big boy! I was found as a stray and brought to a local animal shelter where my foster family brought me to their house. I was a little scared at first but quickly learned how nice and cozy it is here! I definitely have puppy energy but am good at also settling in for epic cuddle sessions on the couch. I have an older bully breed friend here to play with and I am very respectful of her space and so good at reading her queues. But I do like to play A LOT. I would love a home with another energetic dog friend or with humans who have lots of time and energy to play with me! I absolutely love toys and do a great job entertaining myself with lots of toys to choose from. My foster family has two teen kids, who are my favorite. I have a met a few little kids who they know too, and did great around them as well!
I can be a little nervous in new situations or around new people but quickly warm up with a little love, and treats help too! I am very food motivated which makes me very easy to train. I am already potty trained and even learned to ring the bell when I need to go outside! I mastered “sit” in one day and am eager to learn lots of other tricks and commands. Since I will be a big boy, it'll be important that I find a family that will spend lots of time training me to listen and be polite. I walk really nicely on a leash. Sometimes walks can be scary for me at first, but if we take it slow and you reassure me that I am safe, I quickly realize how much fun it is to explore and sniff. I love being in my crate when my foster family is gone or at night to sleep, and sometimes I even choose to go in my crate for a nap. At night I don’t make a peep until the morning when I am ready for breakfast!
My foster mom is always saying this about me: “Russell is playful but cuddly, smart but cautious, and so respectful of all people and dogs. He’s really a gem and going to make a family so incredibly happy!!” Are you that family? I can’t wait to meet you! Love, Russell
