Hi, I am Russ and I love bark chips and twigs - they are so great that I just can't resist them! I am a pretty low key guy who is good at keeping myself entertained by playing with stuffed my toys. Also, I sleep in my kennel overnight (from 10-7) without accidents! I am still working on daytime training but am making huge improvements as I settle into my foster home. I want my foster sister to play with me but settle for snuggling next to her during quiet time. This makes me think that I would do well in a house with another dog but would also be happy by myself with lots of toys and attention. I've seen some neighborhood cats and bark at them so don't want to live with them.

Coming, sitting and laying down are in my repertoire and am also learning to stay, shake a paw, and roll over. I enjoy being petted and spending time with my foster family.

I am pretty young with lots to learn so need a patient family who has time to teach me everything I need to be an amazing dog! I am a happy beautiful boy who is looking for my forever family to love!
