It isn’t hard to “russell” up a description of this good boy! RUSSELL is the whole package, in one tiny body. This little scruff may still be a baby, but he has already assumed the title of master cuddler. Described by his foster as playful, affectionate and smart, this young scruff is as sweet as they come.

When RUSSELL isn’t taking his puppy naps, he is busy exploring the world. While shy at first, his curiosity quickly took over and now he loves meeting new people. To say he’s friendly is an understatement! Within a minute of meeting him, RUSSELL melts hearts with those puppy dog eyes. Before long, he is showered with copious pets and belly rubs (his fav!) from everyone he meets.

Now, because RUSSELL is SO excited meeting new people and experiencing all the new sniffs, he tends to go his own way when out walking on his leash. His new paw-rents will want to continue with the leash training his fosters have started, in order to reign in this little explorer.

While on his outings, RUSSELL has met kids and was very calm and loving. He would likely do well in a house with dog-savvy children. He is a little nervous meeting larger dogs and is still learning his puppy manners, but once his confidence improves, he would likely be okay in a household with another scruff.

After all of his meet & greets, this pup is tired, so RUSSELL’s daily routine balances adventure with downtime. Naptime in his crate is going well, and he quickly settles after about 5 minutes, before drifting off into dreamland.

If you are looking for a scruff to share in your adventures by day, and snuggle up with at night, RUSSELL might just be your perfect match. Apply to adopt!
