Story
Fancy is 9/10 years old. She was rescued by an elderly couple 7 years ago. The elderly couple can no longer care for her due to their health. I have never seen any aggressive behavior out of her. She loves to be petted, lays around but still likes to play. My wild grand boys make her nervous but she has never offered to snap at them. She is house and leash trained. She is a good girl looking for a good home.

Story
Meet Baylor! He is a 9 yr-old Heeler mix that came to us from a really bad situation. He is a senior dog that is just as laid back and gentle as can be. He is desperately looking for a family to take care of him and show him the love that he deserves. He has been around several other dogs, so other dogs shouldn't be a problem. His gentle nature makes him such a big baby. If you can find it in your heart to reach out and come and meet him, he would be so happy.

Story
Vito (M) and Donna (F) are bonded litter mates that shall only be adopted together. They are American Bullies, independent with no behavioral issues and are both approximately 70 lbs. each. Donna is spayed but Vito is intact (not neutered) due to a heart murmur that he takes daily medication for ($30.00 for a 90 day supply). It doesn't effect his daily life and the vet says that it may never. I rescued them from a very bad situation where they were caged most of the day. Donna is definitely the alfa and really enjoys her chew toys. Vito is a more laid back big lap dog and is content just sitting with his human receiving pets. They are definitely inside house dogs that need the interaction of a family. They are social and enjoy playing with other dogs and cats. Both are responsive to commands and have a sweet and loving dispositions.

Story
Lisa is gentle as a lamb. She loves hugs and kisses and tries her very best to make you happy. How could you not love a baby with a smile as wide as her sweet face?Lisa was abandoned on the side of the road with her sister Marge. The temperatures were in the high 90's and these girls had neither food nor water! Someone just left them on the side of the road to die. We tried our darndest to ignore their plight but when I drove by a second time and saw how terrified and hungry they were, we had to help. We brought them food and water in buckets and prayed they would be friendly (since I had heard all the stories about pit bulls). I admit they were leery of us too but as soon as they had a few bites they became our best buddies. Lisa was so thin, and something had caused some serious cuts, but she has never even paused in her outpouring of love and gratitude. What a precious girl. Lisa is especially extra gentle and innocent and loves nothing more than sitting beside you, knowing you are near.Lisa loves kisses and belly rubs, running wide open, and treats. She will make a devoted fur baby to a family that does not have cats or chickens. I do not know about other dogs.To apply visit our website at  https://www.russellrescuetn.com/ or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approvedNovember 5, 2024, 12:34 am
