About Russell

Meet Russell, a charming 7 to 8-year-old black Labrador Retriever mix who weighs around 90 pounds. He combines playfulness with a gentle spirit, ready to become your devoted companion. Russell may take a few days to feel secure, particularly around new people, but once comfortable, his loyalty shines through. He loves to play fetch and stays focused on every ball he sees. When it's time to relax, his calm and well-mannered nature comes out. Russell is crate-trained, housebroken, and prefers to chew only his own toys. He would flourish as the only dog in a home where he can soak up all the attention he needs. Although he’s had positive encounters with female dogs, his behavior around cats is still unknown. Russell appreciates a quiet home setting with a fenced-in yard, as he’s not a fan of large gatherings. His unique quirks include a dislike for anyone touching his hind side or hind paws. Neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative, Russell is ready to enjoy life in a loving home. Whether you’re after a playful partner or a mellow friend, Russell is eager to fill your life with joy. Ready to make him a part of your family?
