Russel Mixed Breed Athens, GA

Why Choose Me?
Foster update: I have been fostering Russel for several days now, and he has proved how loving and loyal of a dog he is.
He is crate-trained, leash-trained, and the ultimate cuddle bug. Russel is so low-maintenance and is happy spending his day cuddling and taking naps. Russel is very nervous when it comes to meeting new people, but he is the perfect dog once he realizes he can trust you. He does tend to bark at other people/dogs, but he is improving with a little bit of patience and training. Russel has some scars/cuts on his legs and face, but they are healing very nicely. Overall, he is the sweetest boy and will be a great addition to someone's home.

When I first met Russel, he wasn't sure about leaving his kennel, but treats paved the way to friendship, and soon he was enjoying pets. He's a cute medium-sized dog who's shy but wants to be loved. After our time together, I saw a huge change in him in his kennel. Instead of backing away, he was coming to the gate wanting to come out again to be with his new friend. He's such a sweetie!
