About Russel
Meet Russell! This handsome fella is on a quest for his forever home. If you know Australian Cattle Dogs, Russell is the quintessential example of everything we admire about the breed. Intelligent and full of energy, he's always eager to be part of whatever you're doing. At approximately 11 months old and weighing about 45 pounds, Russell is crate trained, potty trained, and fully vetted. He has already mastered basic commands like sit and down, and the command "toy" has become crucial for redirecting his playful chews. With a food motivation that drives him, he’s ready to expand his skills with further training. Russell adores other dogs and would thrive with a playful fur sibling to share his energy and engage in fun wrestling matches. His natural herding instincts mean he'll play enthusiastically, which might not sit well with older or more relaxed dogs. It's essential for his new family to understand the nuances of cattle dogs. Russell is friendly and loyal, and he might nip or test boundaries occasionally. However, once that day is done, he’ll be right there curled up beside you, having formed a bond of mutual understanding. He needs an owner who can provide structure, regular exercise, and ways to keep his smart mind challenged. In return, he will be a fiercely loyal companion for life. If you're looking for a dog ready for adventures, playtime, and constant companionship, Russell might just be your perfect match. Based in Houston, TX, Russell's adoption fee includes transport costs if needed. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
