About Russell

Russell is a small Silky Terrier mix, about two years old and weighing in at 15 pounds. He has a lot of opinions for such a little guy and tends to choose his people carefully. With new faces, he keeps his distance at first, but once Russell connects, he becomes your loyal shadow, following you everywhere. He’s happiest curling up next to his people for sleep but isn’t much for laps—affection, yes, but with space on his own terms. Russell can be touchy about being picked up, so he needs someone who won’t push his boundaries and takes the time to read his cues. A low-key home with one or two adults suits him best, especially if you find yourself home most days and can give him plenty of time and attention. He enjoys hanging out with other dogs, though cats and children aren’t his preference. For Russell, a quiet home in the metro-Atlanta area with a secure, fenced yard is the sweet spot, and he’ll thank you if you skip the crate. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
