About Russell

Russell is a 10-month-old Bull Terrier mix with a lively spirit and a knack for adventure. He’s energetic, playful, and known for his full-body, goofy enthusiasm when it comes to playtime. Underneath that puppy excitement, though, is a genuinely affectionate dog who loves a good cuddle and isn’t shy about doling out kisses. Russell is best suited to an active family familiar with large breeds or the quirks of Bull Terriers. He would do well with kids and dogs comfortable with high-energy, rough-and-tumble play. He still needs help learning house rules and boundaries, so patience and gentle teaching are key. On a recent field trip, Russell showed that he checks in often with his handler, enjoys exploring, and relaxes quickly indoors. He played fetch, handled walks in new places, and tackled crate time with confidence. He’s also quite good at nosework games and loves interactive time with people. If you’re seeking a sweet, affectionate puppy with a big personality and lots to offer, Russell is ready to be your new sidekick. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
