Story
“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.” This reminds us of Russ, who savors each day to the fullest and is such a free spirit! Why we love him: Russ is a bouncy, happy-go-lucky dog who is always so glad to be in your company! He is two years old and weighs 64 pounds. Russ has one of those wonderfully expressive doggy faces that looks like he is smiling, and his merry brown eyes reflect his joy for life. He reminds us of a big puppy! Russ is a very enthusiastic companion on walks and is more than glad to help you get your daily exercise. He would be a fine hiking or running buddy, too. Outings in the fenced yard are a great outlet for his abundant energy, and he bounds about in total joy! He especially enjoys playing with the toys. Russ loves games of fetch, too. Russ is a bright dog who should master any commands you want to teach him. Russ has had some great outings with one of our dedicated volunteers. He enjoyed riding in the car, spending time exploring the yard, observing the chickens and meeting the family cat and dogs. He would do best in a family who will give him structure, consistency and routine. Lucky Russ has spent time in two foster homes. His first Mom says: "He’s very true to what I’ve read about Coonhounds. Russ loves toys and sticks and has a very playful side. He really enjoys being outside sniffing and searching for adventures. Russ is not very vocal, just when the other dogs get barking, he will add to it. He needs someone that will assist with getting his energy out and directed in a good place. He does also love his sleep! Russ is crate trained and sleeps through the night.He enjoys long naps on his raised dog beds. But when he’s awake, he’s ready to go. Russ is easy to bathe and thinks car rides are a fun time! He would be best in a home with older children. Russ can be selective with dogs because he wants to play hard and not all other dogs appreciate that. A meet and greet is required if you have another dog. He walks really well on a leash and finds a lot of joy in outdoor adventures. Russ can be overstimulated inside, but with structure he’s shown that he can relax inside." His second foster reports: "Russ has had a fun foster visit to our house for Christmas. He got a nice big chew bone in his stocking and a box of Milk Bone biscuits. He loves to sit on the sofa and watch tv in the doggie den but always wants a human to be there with him. He LOVES attention. We have discovered Russ is most comfortable in his kennel at night when we cover it. It calms him down tremendously and goes in when you tell him "go to bed." He is really good friends with my son Hayden who is not allowed to sit in a room where Russ is without getting lots of love from him. Russ also loved meeting my grandhildren. He has really enjoyed playing outside with "Little Buddy" the most. We tossed tennis balls for them for over an hour to wear them out." Russ is a very special dog who will be such a fun family companion! E-mail ccacangels@yahoo.com for more information! Please come visit! We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Bonnie would thrive in a home with other pets, especially other dogs and cats, as she truly loves their company and finds comfort in having furry friends around. She has also done very well with young children and isn’t bothered by quick movements, making her a wonderful fit for a busy, loving household.   Bonnie is great about going outside to potty and will also reliably use pee pads overnight. She is still learning how to walk confidently on a leash, so she would benefit from a patient adopter who can dedicate a little time to helping her build those skills.   While Bonnie can be shy at first, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate once she feels safe. She’s a total cuddler and will happily curl up with you if invited. As she settles in, her confidence grows quickly — and once she understands that she’s truly home, she becomes very secure and comfortable. With a little time, consistency, and care, her adopters can expect the same beautiful transformation we’ve seen in her foster home.   Bonnie is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and rewards patience with endless love. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will flourish in a calm, caring environment, Bonnie may be your perfect match.   Medical Notes: Spayed Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Maintained on monthly preventions Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 24, 2025, 1:00 pm
