Story

Meet Leila & Skyla — Two Senior Sweethearts Looking for a Lifetime of Love If you’ve been hoping to add double the love, double the charm, and double the snuggles to your home, look no further than Leila and Skyla! This precious bonded pair of medium-small senior ladies (about 25–35 pounds each) is ready to make your life brighter in every way. Leila, a gentle 9-year-old Rat Terrier mix, is the steady heartbeat of the duo. Happy, affectionate, and endlessly loyal, she’s the anchor that gives her best friend comfort and confidence. Skyla, an almost-8-year-old brindle Corgi mix, is a bundle of sweetness with a shy side. She tends to feel nervous when Leila isn’t close by, which is why these two absolutely must be adopted together. When her best friend is near, Skyla blossoms into a playful, happy companion. Both girls have been spayed, microchipped, and are up to date on vaccines and flea/heartworm prevention, so they’re all set for their new beginning. Their adoption fee is just $100 for the pair, because true friendship is priceless—and these two come as a perfect package. Leila and Skyla are hoping for a calm, loving home where they can spend their days inside with their people, enjoying cozy beds, short walks, and plenty of affection. All New Leash dogs are to be primarily indoor pets with supervised outdoor playtime only, and these two are more than happy to follow that routine. If your heart and home have room for two wonderful companions who already come with a lifetime of love for each other—and more than enough to share with you—Leila and Skyla may be your perfect match. Come meet them and let their quiet sweetness win you over. 💛🐾

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.

Story

Lola is my name. I love all and want to be friends with everyone. I am mischievous and will get into trouble just for the attention. I am still very young and eager to explore new things. I want a loving family who will take me on adventures, then love on me while winding down. I don't like it when you focus on other dogs and sometimes I push them out of the way so I can be the center of attention! I have the sweetest face and my "love to be with you" attitude is the best kind to have! I am a medium sized girl and that makes me super PORTABLE! Take me with you to the beach, the mountains, the BATHROOM... I don't care where we go, as long as you take me with you!! I'm a energetic and driven girl with a strong prey drive, particularly chickens, birds, small animals and cats. I'll need a home without these types of pets to ensure everyone's safety. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Millie is brand new to BR and is an absolute DOLL. She is active and loves to do zoomies and is just full of fun and frivolity! They did attempt to spay her at the shelter but had to bring her out of it and discovered she does have a collapsing trachea so we will have that checked out before we open her up for adoption.December 9, 2025, 11:29 am
