Story
Say hello to Archie!! This cutie is three years old, UTD on all vaccinations, neutered,  completed heartworm treatment and on Nexguard. Archie is definitely a house dog.  After he does his business, he looks in the windows until you come for him! Archie loves his people. He runs in reverse in front of you so he knows exactly where you are going - it is adorable. He loves to sit on his bottom next to you, and lean against your shoulder while getting belly rubs. He loves stuffed toys and is learning to retrieve a tennis ball. This sweet baby is ready for a foster or adopter. He loves to play with other dogs. Archie does bark when strangers enter the house. This seems to be more from fear than aggression. Please consider this pup to be a top notch pet and a friend for life.This cutie pie was almost completely shut down when pulled from the pound. He didn’t eat or drink for two days and was lifeless in my lap. Things began to slowly change the third day. Archie liked ear rubs. His appetite began to return and a glimmer of personality started to sparkle. After two weeks with us, he is perfectly happy with non stop petting in my lap! He hops backward if he wants to get away quickly! Archie’s loves chew toys and piles them up in his favorite chair. He gets along really well with our senior JRT. This baby won’t let you get out of sight!! He needs more time in a good foster home to maintain trust. Boarding would be devastating to his progress. He is currently on heartworm treatment and is the most compliant pill taker I have ever seen. Listen to your heart and step up for Archie.I received a call about Archie who was being held at an animal shelter in Mississippi. He wasn’t adjusting and was shutting down. I picked him up and brought him home. He collapsed in my lap, not responding but obviously grateful for comfort. Archie is blossoming quickly. His visit to the vet revealed he is 22 pounds and3-5 years old. He received all of his shots and was neutered. He is receiving treatment for hookworms and is heartworm positive. Despite having a couple of health issues, Archie is beginning to shine. He has become an active, wiggly young fellow. Archie wants to be a lap dog but is so excited, he stands and wiggles instead! He shakes hands!! He isn’t a big barker.His appetite has improved and he eats well now. Archie takes his meds easily. He would love playmates. He tries to play with our elderly JRT, but Scout says nope. I haven’t been able to expose him to children, so no recommendation on that. I think after he settles down he will be a great pet. He is already doing well on a leash. 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.

Lottie CP has a good temperament and has always been great around children.She is getting older and needs a bit more attention with regards to getting outside for potty breaks. We are sad that due to medical and other lifestyle changes in our lives; we are no longer able to take care of her.Lottie is about 10-11 years old and a healthy 18#. She would love to have a mature family that loves the easy life. No long walks a quick trip outside, lazing around on the deck or a car ride just for the fun of it would be niceLottie needs a home fast! Apply online https://www.russellrescuetn.com/adoption-application or email Russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approved 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.

Meet **Taylor Swift** (the dog, but even more cute and adorable as the pop star )!From a scared little soul on *death row* in a California shelter to a cozy cuddlebug in her foster home, Taylor’s glow-up has been nothing short of magical. She’s a **6-year-old rat terrier** sprinkled in **Dalmatian-style spots**, weighing in at about **11 pounds of pure sweetness**.Taylor is the definition of gentle—her foster family hasn’t even heard her bark yet! She’s **dog- and cat-friendly**, **house trained**, and loves nothing more than curling up next to her humans for warm snuggles. Squeaky toys? Instant joy. Crates? Not her fave (totally understandable given her past of being crated in the shelter) but she’s polite and easygoing everywhere else.This shy sweetheart is searching for a forever family who will cherish her soft spirit and offer her all the comfort she’s missed out on. If you’re looking for a quiet little shadow who will love you endlessly, Taylor Swift is *ready for her next era*… and it could be with you. **Adopt Taylor and give her the love story she’s been waiting for!** Apply online https://www.russellrescuetn.com/adoption-application or email Russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approved #AdoptTaylor#rescue #dogrescuelifeTaylor is coming to us from CA where she was on the euthanize list. We were able to save this shy girl and she is now looking for a family to call her own. She is a 6 year old, 15 pound rat terrier mix with beautiful spots like a Dalmatian!

Story
Meet Cider! Cider is a spirited, 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of sweetness and a whole lot of happy energy. This bright little guy is everything you’d expect from a terrier—curious, playful, clever, and always ready for his next adventure. Despite his lively personality, Cider has a wonderfully affectionate side. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people, soaking up pets and making you laugh with his goofy charm. He’s eager to learn, food-motivated, and would thrive with an adopter who enjoys training, games, and keeping his smart brain busy. Cider gets along well with people and would make a great companion for an active individual or family. Because he’s still young, he’ll do best with someone who can give him structure, exercise, and lots of love. He is up to date on current vaccines and is waiting to be altered! If you’re looking for a loyal, fun, and utterly lovable buddy to brighten your days, Cider might be your perfect match. Come meet him—he’s ready to wiggle his way into your heart!
