Meet Russell, a smart, loyal, energetic Australian Cattle Dog mix who is ready for his forever home. At approximately 11 months old and 45 pounds, he loves adventure, play, learning, and being involved in everything his person does.

Russell is friendly, affectionate, food motivated, and eager to learn. He enjoys other dogs and would love a playful canine companion, though his enthusiastic herding-style play may be too much for an older or more laid-back dog. He may nip and test boundaries, so he needs an adopter familiar with cattle dogs.
