About Russell

Meet Russell, a charming 22-pound Wirehaired Terrier mix with a big love for food and attention. At 9 years old, this little gentleman is ready to find a home where he can shed some extra weight and enjoy life with caring companions. With proper care, Russell could enjoy many more happy years ahead of him. Russell adores people and has never met a stranger, making him a great addition to any household. While he loves humans, he's selective about his canine friends, preferring calm, larger dogs. We can test him with cats for approved applicants if needed. Plus, he's already housetrained, so he's got excellent manners covered. All HSOC dogs, including Russell, go home vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and current on preventative medications. He also qualifies for a complimentary training session, although he mostly just needs plenty of love and the occasional perfectly portioned snack. If you're searching for a sweet senior sidekick with a big personality, Russell might just be the perfect match for you. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
