Russell Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Terrier Mix Bothell, WA

Animal Profile: Russel is a 8.5 week old Terrier X puppy who joined 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:
Baby Russell is a chaotic good boi. A natural comedian, he does everything--from playing to cuddling to sleeping--with unbridled enthusiasm. Russell has abundant energy, loves fetch and toys, and is looking for a home with at least one other playful dog and a large, fenced yard. We expect him to be quite a big, strong boy when fully grown, so a dog-savvy home who can teach him good ways to channel is energy is ideal. Good with dogs, cats, horses, and people, Russell can initially be shy with new friends but warms up and absolutely adores his people and fur siblings. He has striking eyes and markings and the softest, smooshy face. His antics make us laugh every day. Russell is crate-trained, knows basic commands, and would excel at dog sports.

Due to breed and size, we are not considering apartments.
