Story
**Courtesy Post**Diesel is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement. Please direct all inquiries to Diesel’s owner at jrrosewell@gmail.com ** This handsome fella is Diesel. He has a sad story, but we are hoping to change that for him soon. Diesel’s owner (who he has been with since he was a puppy) recently passed away, leaving him sad and confused. Diesel is staying with a family member, but can’t stay there very much longer. He needs a new forever home of his very own! Diesel was born on 10/16/2019 making him 6 years young. He is neutered and up to date on his rabies vaccination and microchipped. Diesel takes Apoquel for mild skin allergies. Diesel has been loved for his whole life. The past two years, his owner had been sick, so Diesel didn’t get much exercise (and a few too many treats), so he is overweight at around 30 pounds. Nothing that a good diet, and a daily walk or outside play time won’t fix. Diesel has never been around other dogs or cats, so we aren’t sure how he would be in a home with them. He will do best in a home with no young children. He loves loves loves adult people though! He greets visitors with a wagging tail and begs for pets. Diesel needs a home with a securely fenced back yard so he can run and play outside. He definitely needs to be an indoor dog though. He wants to be where his person is. A vet reference and home visit are required to adopt Diesel. He is currently living near Aurora, Illinois and his new owner will need to drive to that area to meet and adopt Diesel. His owner is asking for a small rehoming fee. If you are interested in adopting Diesel, please complete the adoption application at www.RussellRescue.com and Diesel’s owner will contact you. Diesel is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement. All inquiries should be directed to Diesel’s owner at jrrosewell@gmail.com

Story
Frankie is the sweetest most affectionate dog I have ever had. Problem is she is jealous of my other dog and cat. She recently started to attack them. I am terrified someone will get hurt. She will need to be an only animal in the house. This is absolutely heartbreaking but I need to consider everyone in the house. She will make an incredible companion.

Story
Sweet little Bea was running around rural Georgia with her sidekick for several weeks after apparently being dumped. Everybody in the area said they were friendly, but no one knew them so they called animal control. The girls were very bonded at first, but we feel like their first love is people. They want to love people and be loved so badly but when they didn’t have any people, they became very attached to each other. Her sidekick has now found her forever home and it’s Miss Bea’s turn now. She’s exceptionally sweet and outgoing. She loves to go for walks and rides in the car. She also loves to snuggle on the couch. Bea is 22 pounds and between four and five years old. WE ARE ONLY GUESSING AT HER BREED! She does not really have a JRT temperament but she has the size and cute little short tail. She is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm tested negative. She appears to be a very healthy and happy girl. She had a couple of accidents the first day in her foster home but now she’s doing very well with house training if you would like to be Miss Bea’s hero and the center of her world, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or Dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send you our information and application.

Story
Meet Winston 🐾 Winston is a 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier / Beagle mix with the sweetest, most soulful eyes and a gentle heart to match. At 28 pounds, he’s the perfect medium size—big enough to enjoy adventures, yet small enough to be an excellent cuddle companion. Winston is initially a bit timid in new situations, but once he feels safe, his loving personality shines. With time and reassurance, he becomes very affectionate and truly enjoys attention. He loves relaxing on the couch, sleeping in bed with his people, and being close to those he trusts. He is mostly house trained and does best with a consistent routine. Winston is good with other dogs and has done well around children who are respectful of his gentle nature. While he hasn’t been formally tested with cats, his calm, easygoing temperament suggests he would likely do fine with proper introductions. Winston loves snacks and takes treats very gently, which perfectly reflects his soft personality. He’s still learning about leash walking and doesn’t love it yet, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can help him build confidence at his own pace using positive reinforcement. He is not crate-trained and currently sleeps on the couch or in bed—comfort and closeness are important to him once he feels secure. Winston is neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for his forever home. Winston’s Perfect Home 🏡 Winston would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands he may need a little time to feel safe and settled. A predictable daily routine will help him continue to build confidence and succeed with house training. His ideal home includes: • A person or family who is gentle, patient, and affectionate • A home that values companionship and connection • Another friendly dog (optional, but he does well with canine friends) • Respectful children who understand giving a shy dog space at first • Someone willing to work slowly on leash confidence • A home where couch time and bedtime cuddles are welcome With patience, love, and consistency, Winston will blossom into a deeply loyal and affectionate companion. Not the Right Fit If… ❌ Winston may not be the best match if: • You’re looking for a high-energy, instantly outgoing dog • You need a dog who is fully leash-trained right away • You require crate training as a must-have • Your home is very loud, chaotic, or fast-paced without space for a dog to warm up gradually • You’re unable to provide routine, reassurance, and gentle guidance If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
