Story
Get ready to change the channel because TV is broadcasting a whole new frequency of fun! This spunky and independent boy brings plenty of curiosity to every episode of his day, greeting the world with an adorable set of upright ears that are always tuned into the latest sounds. While he starts off a little shy—like a classic vintage set warming up—it only takes about ten minutes for him to untuck his tail, step out of his shell, and start actively exploring his surroundings. Once his signal is fully clear, his sweet nature takes over, and he loves nothing more than walking right alongside his favorite person, staying perfectly in sync like a hit prime-time duo. When it's time for outdoor programming, TV enjoys tuning into the local airwaves by sniffing out new trails and walking around to inspect every leaf and twig. He is a polite partner on the leash who thrives on slow, gentle pets once he feels comfortable with his crew. After a busy day of investigating and gathering news, this clever boy is looking to sign off for the night in a calm sanctuary where he can rest, reset, and feel entirely secure. He is ready to find a dedicated co-star who can give him the cozy space he needs to truly shine. Tune in today to find out how you can catch the next live episode of this wonderful dog's journey.

Story
Ranger is house trained and uses a pet door. We use to have 3 other dogs in the house and he got along with them. He does not bark a lot. We live on the corner. He sleeps in a bed or lays on a rug. He has not been much a lap dog, but that because of the elderly lady that has him. He is still energetic and lays out side when the weather permits.

Seamus was found abandoned on a road. He is a cuddly, playful boy who gets along great with other dogs.

Story
Hey there, it's me, Mr. Franklin! That's right, I'm a male dog of distinction and charm, and I'm here to add some serious fun to your life. My foster thinks I am a Jack-Chi or Chi-pug, about 1 year old. I'm a curious and playful boy who loves nothing more than a good time and, let me tell you, I've got the wiggles to prove it! Now, let's get down to business. I am an attention-seeker and an expert cuddler, always up for giving and receiving infinite kisses. My idea of a perfect day involves playtime with my toys, showing off my funny antics, and, of course, spending quality time with my favorite people. Oh, and did I mention I'm food-motivated? Treat me to some Kong peanut butter or carrots, and we'll be best friends forever. I'm a quick learner and a smart cookie, too. Potty-trained? Check. Dog door? No problem. Crate at night? I've got this. I'm a well-behaved boy who just wants to bring some laughter and love into your home. So, if you're looking for a furry friend to light up your life, I'm your man. Come meet me in Houston and let's start our adventure together! Available in the Houston area. Can video meet and greet also.

Story
Allow me to introduce you to the magnificent Miss Eleanor, or Ellie as her close friends call her. My foster thinks I am a Jack-Chi or Chi-puggle, about 1 year old. This little lady is an absolute delight, a perfect mix of sass and sweetness, with a dash of shyness that only adds to her charm. But don't be fooled by her initial reserve; once Ellie warms up to you, she's a roll-over-for-belly-rubs, snuggly lap dog who will charm you with her playful curiosity and affectionate nature. Miss Eleanor is a true lady, dignified yet friendly, and always up for a good time. She knows how to sit and stay, and her foster family has taught her to use a dog door like a pro. Ellie loves her squeaky toys and is a big fan of carrots and peanut butter-filled Kongs. But her absolute favorite thing? Why, that would be kisses, of course! This gentle girl adores giving and receiving love and is always up for a good snuggle. Eleanor is close to her brother, Franklin, and they make a dynamic duo. She's a young soul who sleeps in her crate at night and is always ready for adventures during the day. Miss Eleanor is currently being fostered in the Houston area and is available for meet and greets. So, if you're looking for a furry friend who is both sassy and sweet, Miss Eleanor is the paw-fect choice!

**Courtesy Post**Larry is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement. All inquiries should be directed to Larry’s owner at tpontiff19@gmail.com ** Say hello to Larry. He’s about a year old and is in great physical condition. He’s neutered and vaccinated. Larry needs another home. He’s not real fond of other dogs so being an “only child” will be right up his alley!

He needs a patient owner and someone who is willing to be kind and loving with him. His new owner needs a securely fenced yard. No electronic fencing, and no wrought iron unless it is screened. If you are interested in Larry, you will need to go to RussellRescue.com and fill out the online adoption application. Larry is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement. All inquiries should be directed to Larry’s owner at tpontiff19@gmail.com His owner is asking a small rehoming fee. Larry lives in Austin, Texas and his new owner will need to drive there to get him.
