My story

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

**Give Harry a Home for the Holidays!**

Meet **Harry** — a brave little Shorty Russell Terrier with a heart bigger than his past.

This Christmas, Harry’s biggest wish is simple: **to get out of boarding and into a loving home.**

Harry was found wandering the streets of Louisville, just trying to survive. Starving, filthy, and covered in fleas, he was rescued by a kind soul who reached out to **Russell Rescue TN** for help. After a full vet check, Harry is now safe… but still stuck in boarding, dreaming of **his forever family**.

He’s cautious and protective — guarding his food and keeping his distance from other dogs — but that’s just the story of a little survivor who’s had to fight to make it this far. With patience, love, and understanding, Harry can learn to trust again and show the sweetest, most loyal side of himself.

**This Christmas, you can be Harry’s miracle.**
Open your heart and home, even temporarily, and help him feel safe, loved, and truly cared for.
