My story

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

Ciao Bella!

It’s no coincidence that “Bella” means beautiful because that is what little miss is!

A little tender love and care has gone a long way with Miss Bella .

She’s getting accustomed to her new foster home, and she’s fitting right in.

It is so fun to see her playful personality. She wants all the belly rubs, love, and kisses.

And while she’s here, she’ll get them!

Poor thing! What happened to her! Is she sick! She looks terrible. These are questions people ask when in poor shape like Bella is a shelters. Great dogs with issues caused by poor care are often overlook and seldom leave a shelter. So unfortunate because these dogs could be the best dog ever.
Bella is getting a chance to find a home because Russell Rescue was asked to help by the shelter staff because her personality is beautiful. She will be given everything she needs so her outside will shine. In the mean time she needs a foster to give her meds and a special bath twice a week. Yes that is all it take to make her a movie star. Want you help us give Bella a make over ?

Dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.

Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else. 

We promise our fosters that we will qualify all potential adopters before we ask them to communicate with potential adopters.

The application is the first step. Please complete the adoption (or foster) application here: https://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/

You will be contacted if further information is needed. 

We are 100% volunteer powered. Volunteers process the applications and need time above their personal needs and full-time jobs to process the apps.

Please have patience. We do not have any paid staff members. 

Our adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies, HW check, and microchip. 

Russell Rescue dogs are fostered in the Middle Tennessee area. We do not ship/transport our dogs, so the approved adopter must be willing to travel to Tennessee. Russell Rescue will try to first place our rescue dogs locally or in surrounding states.

Russell Rescue is not open to the public for visiting hours. We do not have a physical location of our own.
