About Russel

Meet Russell! This handsome fella is searching for his forever home, just like so many dogs here in Texas. Russell embodies everything we love about Australian Cattle Dogs. He’s incredibly smart, bursting with energy, and is the perfect companion for anyone looking to share their adventures. At around one year old and weighing about 55 pounds, he is both potty and crate trained. This eager learner already knows basic commands like sit, down, and even "toy," which helps keep him on track when he's in a playful mood. Food-motivated and intelligent, further training should be a breeze. Russell absolutely loves his dog friends and would thrive with a friendly fur sibling to play and wrestle with. However, his herding instincts shine through, so an older or calmer dog might not appreciate his enthusiastic approach to play. Surprisingly, his favorite thing is a bucket of water. Despite being fostered in a home with a pool, nothing makes him happier than his trusty bucket. Now, here’s the key: Russell needs an adopter who understands cattle dogs. He's not your typical family pet; he’s loyal and friendly but can test your boundaries. He’ll need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. In return, he’ll be the fiercely loyal best friend cattle dog enthusiasts adore. If you’re looking for a pup to adventure with, play hard, and always keep you company, Russell might just be your guy. He’s located in Houston, Texas, and available for adoption and transport throughout the country. Think Russell is your next best friend? The first step in the adoption process is applying today!
