My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Animal Profile: Russel is a 8.5 week old Terrier X puppy who will be joining us with his 3 siblings on 12/16/2024 via our TX partner Saving Shelter Strays. The puppies along with mom were living under an abandoned trailer and were picked by our rescue partner Saving Shelter Strays. They are currently in a foster home waiting for their freedom ride to the PNW to find their forever homes. 

Foster Update:  Rambunctious baby Russell is one of the funniest puppies we've fostered. He looks like the cutest little piglet ever, plays like a Tasmanian Devil, and sleeps like a sedated slug. Russell will crawl into your arms to fall asleep, but will also crawl into your arms to try to play-chomp your face and body (you don't always know which he's planning to do, and he gets pouty if you decline either activity). Hilarious, expressive, and opinionated around people and animals he knows, Russell is still unsure of new people and places. He would like a home with a friendly, confident dog to show him the ropes, and people who will help him work on his confidence and meet his needs for play and activity--but will also understand if he ends up being a dog who prefers familiar places to adventures away from home. Russell is doing well with his potty training and crate training, knows his name and sit, and will thrive with continued training. This smooshy-faced boy is good with dogs of all sizes and ages, enjoys cats, and is passionate about toys and chews. We are looking for a home with a securely fenced yard and a canine companion. Due to breed and size we are not considering apartments. 

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, microchip with registration, and health certificate. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.
