Are you ready to experience the true meaning of unconditional love? Meet Russell, a charming and lovable 6-year-old Australian Shepherd dog who is eagerly searching for his forever home in or near Richmond, BC. Russell is a special dog with a heart of gold, and he can’t wait to shower his new family with endless cuddles, affection, and laughter.

Let’s dive into the 5 amazing things that make Russell truly one of a kind:

1) Cuddles Galore: Russell is a master snuggler, and his warm embrace will melt away your worries and fill your heart with joy.

2) Overflowing Love and Affection: With Russell by your side, you’ll never feel lonely. His love knows no bounds, and he’ll be your faithful companion through thick and thin.

3) Excitement Personified: Get ready for a daily dose of excitement and joy as Russell greets you with boundless enthusiasm every time you walk through the front door. His very expressive “Aussie Wiggle Butt” and happy demeanor will instantly brighten your day.

4) Dragging Adventures: Picture this – Russell lying on his back, waiting for you to give him a back scratch. But instead of moving closer, you have to playfully drag him 20 feet. It’s a hilarious game that will have you both rolling on the floor with laughter.

5) Staring Contests: Russell loves a good staring contest! Lock eyes with him, and you’ll discover the unwavering determination and loyalty in his gaze. It’s a game that will deepen the bond between you and this incredible dog.

Russell’s owners are heartbroken to have to part ways with their beloved pet, but circumstances beyond their control have made rehoming a necessity. They are searching for a loving and caring home that will provide Russell with the love, care, and safety he deserves.

Let’s talk about Russell’s personality for a moment. This incredible dog is not only loving and affectionate but also a professional snuggler. He adores belly rubs and cuddling on the couch while binge-watching your favorite movies.

Russell’s favorite toys include anything he can sink his teeth into, especially tightly sewn squeaky toys and ropes. Just make sure to steer clear of strong bones – his powerful jaws might make short work of them!

Now, let us share a cute Russell story with you. During walks, Russell has a mischievous habit of suddenly lying on his back, refusing to get up. As you gently drag him for a short distance, he gets a fantastic back scratch right there on the street. It’s a sight that never fails to bring smiles and laughter to passersby.

Russell’s silly “dead rodent” impersonation!

Russell’s owners want the very best for him, and it’s a difficult decision to make, but they believe he deserves a home that can provide him with the care, attention, and love he truly deserves, and which they are no longer able to provide.

Are you the perfect match for Russell? If you don’t have small children or other pets at home, and if you can give him plenty of love and some daily exercise, then Russell might just be the missing piece in your life. He needs an agile owner who can handle his strength during walks. But most importantly, he needs someone who will open their heart and home to him unconditionally.

Rest assured, Russell’s owners are open to staying in touch and even watching him during your vacations. They adore Russell and want to maintain a connection, ensuring he still holds a special place in their lives. (So long as that is OK with you, of course!)

This is a very tough decision for Russell’s owners, but they want what’s best for him. They want him to live the best little fur life possible, and their current lifestyle and residence simply cannot provide that. Let’s help them find Russell the loving home he deserves.

So, are you ready to embark on a heartwarming journey with Russell? Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to experience a love that knows no bounds. Fill out our online meeting request form now and let us bring Russell into your life.

Together, we can make Russell’s dreams come true – cuddle at a time. Adopt Russell today!

Russell’s Personality

Russell is an extremely loving dog and is a super snuggler. He enjoys belly rubs and cuddling on the couch while watching movies. He is a very excitable dog and wants to say hi to every new person and dog he comes across. He also enjoys learning new tricks.

5 Amazing Things About Russell:

1) His cuddles
2) None stop love and affection
3) Excitement / greeting you when you walk through the front door
4) The laughs you have when he lays on his back and you have to drag him 20 feet in order to scratch his back (his favorite)
5) Staring contests

Russell’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?

Generally anything he can chew. He has very strong teeth, so he likes rope or tightly sewn squeaky toys. We tend to stay away from strong bones.

Cute Russell Story:

During our walks, he likes to suddenly without warning lie on his back and stubbornly not get up. People always smile and laugh as they walk by, as when we drag him slightly upside down, he gets a good back scratch on the street.

Why is Russell Being Rehomed?

We currently have another Australian Shepherd and our lifestyle is no longer conducive to having two pets. We are planning to travel a lot in future and it is increasingly difficult to find dog care for two dogs.

Russell is a bit more of a challenge to find a sitter, as he generally can’t be trusted on to get along other dogs (kennels are not an option) and most of our friends have small children that we want to avoid Russell being around because of his extreme excitability.

He needs a lot of exercise and we don’t feel we can provide him the full care and attention he deserves as our life has now evolved into a more mobile one. We love him dearly, but feel he would be much better off with someone that can give him all he deserves as he is a wonderful and incredibly loving dog.

Russell’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:

Someone that does not have small children or other pets at home. Someone that can give him plenty of exercise and someone who is agile enough to keep hold of him as he tends to pull on walks and is quite strong. But ultimately, someone that will provide him a loving home.

We are very open to staying in touch with whomever and will be very open to covering vacations for them. We love Russell and don’t want him gone entirely from our lives. This is a hard decision to come to but we want Russell to have the best little fur life he can and our lifestyles and residence at this time isn’t the best for that.
