Busy schedule

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Russ is a five year old Havanese mix, weighing about 10 pounds, originally rescued from a backyard breeder in Texas. He is extremely affectionate and loving and absolutely loves attention and petting. He is in perfect health and up to date with checkups. He is mostly trained to use wee-wee pads and to go outside, however, he needs more attention in this area.

Russ is very, very sweet once he gets to know someone, but can be aggressive with males at a first meeting. He is wonderful with two other dogs who he lives with, but can be aggressive when meeting a strange dog for the first time.

Russ loves to run like the wind in a fenced in backyard, but will look for any openings in the fence to squeeze through. Russ loves to chase and retrieve yellow tennis balls. He will fetch, sit, and give his paw for a handshake.

The best home for Russ would be with an experienced owner who can give daily attention. Russ needs a bit of focused training, but will respond with total affection.
