Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTER LOCATION: Nampa, ID
Every time we look at our boy Russo, Jimmy Buffett pops into our head “Hey, Hey, Good Lookin', whatcha got cookin', How’s about cookin' something up with me”
Why you ask? Come on just look at him; doesn’t he remind you of the cool boy in school who always had the smoothest pick-up lines? A guy who would come up with the line “I'm free and I'm ready
maybe we can go steady”
If you are looking for a new guy in your life Russo is your man! He is a 1 1/2 year old, 60 pound Kelpie/Lab with maybe a touch of German Shepherd thrown in for good measure who is almost always up for a good time. Russo LOVES playing fetch - especially with a Frisbee so he can show off his mad jumping/catching skills.
Russo also likes to be on the go (he’s a very active boy); he loves riding in the car, loves playing in water and just has a zest for all the fun things in life. Russo walks well on a leash, makes a great running partner and knows several commands like sit, down, roll over, shake and high five. Once in a while his bravado slips a he gets a bit shy but 95% of the time he is everyone’s best friend; eager to learn and eager to please.
He plays well with other dogs and is good with children but would probably be better with older children as he sometimes gets excited and doesn't watch where he's running when he plays fetch.
Russo would make a great family dog and a wonderful companion. So if you are looking for that smooth talking, smart as a whip, handsome guy to add to your life Russo just might be your boy.
If you think Russo is for you please go fill out an adoption application and we will get back to you about him: http://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/
