Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. Meet Russell, a sweet and handsome 6-month-old Jack Russell Terrier mix originally from Puerto Rico. Russell weighs about 20 lbs and tends to be a little shy when meeting new people, but quickly comes out of his shell—especially if you offer him a treat or some tasty mozzarella cheese. Once comfortable, he enjoys being pampered and loves to be caressed. He is crate trained and already spayed/neutered, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, children, and, according to his foster, thrives when he has puppy play dates or lots of social time. Russell's ideal home will offer him plenty of playtime and opportunities to interact with other pups, keeping him happy, social, and content. While he’s not yet leash trained, his friendly and affectionate personality means he'll quickly warm up and start enjoying new adventures with his family. If your home already has a dog, or you can provide daily playdates, Russell will fit right in and make a loyal and fun companion. Consider adopting a friend for him as pack animals like Russell love company and learn best from each other. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
