About Russell

Meet Russell! This playful puppy is part of a litter of eight, all on a quest to find their forever families. His mother, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi/Border Collie mix, weighs about 40 pounds, and with DNA testing confirming a Golden Retriever father, Russell is poised to grow into a smart and devoted companion. At only 10 weeks old, Russell currently weighs 10 pounds, and he'll likely reach between 50 to 70 pounds as an adult. Russell’s playful spirit shines through in his curious nature. He loves to chase his siblings' tails, turning every moment into a playful adventure. As he explores the world, his antics will surely bring a smile to your face. House training is already underway, but like any young puppy, he needs a committed family to continue his training and take him out regularly. Being expected to grow into a larger dog, Russell needs a physically fenced yard where he can run and play safely. He will be neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and will receive his first two vaccinations before adoption, with further care required after. If a happy, adventurous puppy is what you’re looking for, Russell is ready to steal your heart! Your journey with Russell starts with an application to adopt. Don't miss out on this chance!
