Story
Meet very handsome Apollo! 6 year old Apollo is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix looking for his furever home. He is very energetic and will be his best within an active family with older children. He loves cuddling with his cat friends (or just cuddling in general), going for long walks, and curling up on someone's lap on the couch at the end of the day. He would do best in a home without other dogs since he's pretty much alpha.   He is UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, and takes Heartgard monthly.   When you need that special someone to share your day with Apollo/CP is the right guy for you!!!   Please complete our application at: http://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/April 19, 2024, 6:13 am

Story
Hello. My name is Chyanne. I am a seven year oldish male little mix dog. I’m not really sure what kind I am, I’m just cute, I know that. Let me tell you my story. I lived in a single wide trailer with another little dog and my owner that is in her 80’s. She went into the nursing home because she is not able to take care of us or herself. I am generally a happy little guy and I am super smart. Like anyone I have faults. I’m stubborn and sometimes if I’m scared i want to nip sometimes so if you have some patience I’m just perfect for you. I have a little boo boo on my nose. I am learning kennel training and I try to open the door with my nose. It’s getting better. I’m learning my nose won’t open it. I had to learn not using the potty in the house. I have done well with that.  Where I am living right now gets up a 6 am to me ruffing at the door to go out and potty. I think it’s a fair trade! I don’t potty in the house, they get up early! I am super friendly and like other animals of all kinds! I need a forever home. Please give me a chance!Available 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.

Like a challenge? Upsie is an extremely frightened 2yo. Takes time to warm up. Does not lead or want to be picked up but will give kisses from your lap. Great with other dogs. Upsie needs someone to take him into their home and work one on one with him and let him learn to trust. He needs someone who will not expect fast results, but be thrilled with the tiny steps he will make. Upsie has been with one of our experienced fosters for a few weeks after spending too much time in boarding. He is quite the comedian. He likes to roll into your lap to get pets. He also likes to hear how good of a boy he is! Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.The application is the first step. Please complete the adoption (or foster) application here: https://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/We do not have any paid staff members. We are 100% volunteer powered.

Update 2/14/23: Ceelo is looking for his forever home!! Y’all don’t know what you’re missing! Ceelo Cream is a hoot. He’s all played out!Update 11/29/22: This is the face of a very accomplished hunter. Reason #6373 to foster. Ceelo Cream 1: Mole 0. This is the equivalent of a mom and her straight A student. Y’all have a great day! #kingmoleslayer“Ceelo Cream” needs a forever home. He’s been here with my five pack for about 2 months now. He gets along very well with other dogs. He’s house broken, well behaved, and snuggly. He loves squeaky toys as you can see His bark cracks me up! Whatever his Mix, he is a cutie that needs a new home. He is a light weight weighing in only at about 10 pounds. We were told he was about 12 years old but he doesn’t act it. He is very spry. Needs a home with a fence. He loves to be outside with his toys!  He is also great on a leash.Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.The application is the first step.
