Story
Meet Sir Russ! 👑🐾Sir Russ is a 10-year-old, 8.5 lb sweetheart who is incredibly easy to love. This precious boy enjoys snuggling with his people on the sofa or in bed, although he is also perfectly content curling up in his favorite corner surrounded by a cozy blanket. If he is cuddled in your lap or tucked into your arms, it is almost guaranteed that he will fall right asleep. 😴Sir Russ has very limited vision and hearing, so he has developed his own special way of communicating. When he barks, he may be asking for food, water, a potty break, or simply some extra snuggles. His foster family works through the possibilities until they figure out exactly what their little gentleman needs!Despite his limitations, Sir Russ still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He loves leisurely walks on a leash, rides wonderfully in the car, and enjoys lying outside on the lawn while soaking up the sunshine or relaxing in the shade. He also loves being gently wrapped in a small blanket and carried around all snuggled up.Sir Russ has a light heart murmur and currently receives eye drops and ointment for dry eye and other eye-related concerns. He can be a tough little cookie when it is time for his medication, so he needs someone patient and comfortable caring for a senior dog with medical needs. Because he can startle easily, he should always be woken gently. When he needs to be moved, wrapping him in a soft blanket helps him feel safe and secure.Overall, Sir Russ is a happy little doll, a sweet angel baby, and the kind of dog who is incredibly easy to love. He is ready for a patient family who will learn his special language, keep him cozy, and give him all the snuggles he deserves. 💙To apply to have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport, please visit our website at https://longwayhome.org/adopt.❤ Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds.
