Story
**Courtesy Post** Trixie is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with networking/placement. All inquiries should be directed to Trixie’s owner at eva.dacus@ubh.com Trixie is a beautiful girl. We think she is mainly a Welsh Terrier. She has a scruffy, black and tan coat and a perfectly docked tail and button ears. Trixie is also a fierce hunter. She will keep your yard free of any unwanted critters. When it’s time to slow down, she is a snuggle bunny. As you can see, she loves to chill out on the couch. This girl is about 3 years old and has had all of her vaccinations and she is also spayed. Her vet records will go with her to her new home. Trixie gets along with most other dogs, but she is a terrier!!!! Sometimes the females can be territorial, so we hope that she will be placed with male dogs only. Trixie doesn’t care how big they are, they are her friends. Trixie has to have a securely fenced in backyard and hopefully someone who knows the terrier breed. She needs love and attention and exercise. If you are interested in Trixie, please fill out the online adoption application at www.RussellRescue.com Trixie is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with networking/placement. All inquiries should be directed to Trixie’s owner at eva.dacus@ubh.com The owner is asking for a small rehoming fee. Trixie lives in Tyler, Texas and you will have to drive there to get her. A good vet reference is required to adopt Trixie.

Story
This is my buddy Obsidian (We call him Obi). He’s been my pride and joy ever since I got him. I did crate training and some basic obedience training with him and he’s a really smart guy. Unfortunately I have been activated to active duty military orders and due to unforeseen circumstances he started lashing out at other dogs/animals when I left so the people who were taking take of him cannot properly provide for him until I’m back anymore. I have him currently staying with a friend for the time being but he needs an attentive family with no other animals in the house. Message me for further inquiries!

Story
We got Leo from the city animal control. He was 2 months when we got him, he's 5 months now. He is already neutered and has all his vaccinations except rabies. He's a very sweet dog, who is very playful. He needs a home with a really big back yard that's fenced in or maybe a farm. He loves people and other animals. He still likes to use his mouth as a way to play or try to heard you, so it would be best to be with a family that either doesn't have kids or maybe older kids, just cuz he can be a little rough at playing and still likes to jump on people out of excitement.
