Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Introducing Russ ~ Hub Cap! Little Russ has a sensitive side. He is very loveable if you give him a little time. Life probably was not all that good to him, so he is a little cautious. His handler in the prison program said that he has come a long way. He is a quiet guy who does not bark and prefers soothing sounds and soft touches. He is not rowdy, so I bet he likes his friends the same. He is leash trained and crate-trained. Russ has been working on some commands in the prison program and is current on his vetting. He has not been kid tested. He would love to continue his growth in his forever home. Russ will be quietly waiting. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 24, 2025, 7:18 pm
