Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello everyone,
My name is Russell Pembroke. Russell is what my buddies who rescued me wanted to call me, then my foster mom saw the street sign I was hunkered down next to "Pembroke" Rd. I answer all names including my nickname, Russ.
I am the sweetest, cutest, lovingest Staffordshire Terrier you have ever met. When I was in the crate or dog run, my foster mom put her fingers through the wire to me. I gave her the googly eyes with my tail wagging a hundred times a second as I gently nibbled on her finger tips. Everyone who has met me cannot believe how sweet I am.
I was found on Easter Eve hunkered down in some underbrush on the corner of Pembroke and a country rural street (dirt road). When my foster dad first saw me my head was down as low as possible. He thought I was protecting where I lived or something. He came back with my foster mom. She got out of the truck with a bag of food. The minute she shook the bag, my head popped up. It took me a whole second to get out of the brush, through the ditch to where she was standing. She was absolutely heartbroken, for I was terribly skinny, covered in ticks, and a huge hole in my front leg (she could see the tendon and bone).
How I got there and who owned me will be a mystery not explored. All I know is I am safe (in boarding to keep an eye on my leg healing), I have been neutered and leg sewn. There is a house cat running the boarding facility (we have met nose to nose), a couple of older children, and nice adults. I am dog social with proper introductions and patience. I am not food aggressive towards humans, but I have not eaten out of the crate with other dogs around.
I am ready to come home. Please fill out an application and start my journey home to you. I promise I will be the best Nanny dog you have ever had.
