Meet Russell - a gentle soul who may be a little shy at first, but has so much love to give once he feels comfortable. Russell takes some time to warm up to new people and environments, but with patience, kindness, and consistency, his sweet personality really starts to shine. Once he trusts you, Russell enjoys affection, companionship, and being part of the family. He would do best in a calm, understanding home that will allow him to settle in at his own pace and continue building confidence. Russell is looking for someone willing to give him the time and reassurance he needs to feel safe and secure. Watching him come out of his shell and grow more confident is incredibly rewarding, and he's sure to form a strong bond with the people who give him that chance.
