My story

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

I'm Russell, but my foster mom calls me Rustler so as not to offend her neighbor, Russell, lol. I'm looking for a new home because my owner can no longer care for me. She is terminally ill and wanted to know that I was taken care of before she left.
I'm no trouble at all and know the house routine already. I go out early, do my business, and get a treat when I'm finished, It's a small treat because I go out a few times a day.
I get lots of out time and lay in the sun on a nice bed by the sliding door.
