Story
**Meet Adelicia (Addie)!** Adelicia—better known as **Addie**—is a 9-month-old, 8-pound bundle of joy with the **most magical ears** you’ve ever seen. Seriously… if being **photogenic were a sport, she’d be the undefeated champion** . Every angle is her angle.Addie may be small, but her personality is anything but. While she doesn’t live with kids, she’s met neighborhood children and did well with **older kids** who gave her space at first. With a little patience (and a few treats), she was happy to accept gentle pets. We wouldn’t recommend a home with **very young children**, as she can get overwhelmed.She’s a total sweetheart with a dash of the **fun police** energy—she may bark or get a little upset if other dogs are too loud or moving too fast for her comfort. Addie is working on leash training and enjoys regular walks. She can be a bit barky around strangers or when she sees or hears other dogs, but she’s learning and improving every day. She’s energetic and will need someone excited to keep up with her adorable **bunny hops** wherever she goes Addie came from a hoarding situation, so she may start out shy—but once she knows she’s safe, her personality shines. She warms up quickly and is discovering that humans, cuddles, and cozy homes are actually the *best* things ever. Bonus: **Addie gets along well with both cats and dogs**, making her a great option for a multi-pet household .This tiny girl is: Perfectly pint-sized at just 8 pounds Young, playful, and full of promise Incredibly photogenic Learning what love, consistency, and forever meanAddie is looking for a patient, kind family ready to give her the safe, loving home she deserves. She’s already survived the hard part—now she’s ready for her happy ending. **Adoption fee: $300**, which includes vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm test, microchip, ID collar, leash, and harness.Apply online: https://www.russellrescuetn.com/adoption-applicationOr email Russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approvedAvailable dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.
