Russell

Russell is a 3-year-old, 61-pound Dogo Argentino mix who is as handsome as he is lovable! Despite being deaf, Russell navigates the world with enthusiasm and is a perfect blend of playful energy and cozy relaxation. He enjoys a good romp but also cherishes his downtime on a comfy bed. Russell has shown he can get along with other dogs, though he does like to keep his special toys and treats all to himself.

Ideal Home

Russell would do best in a home where he can be cherished. While he gets along with other dogs, he can be protective of his prized possessions, so a home that can manage this will be ideal.

Ongoing Health

Russell is healthy and was tested negative for heartworms and Lyme. He will be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption.

Training & Support

Russell is deaf, which is considered a special need. We will provide guidance on how to best communicate and train him using positive reinforcement and visual cues to ensure he thrives in his new environment. He can be protective of his toys and treats, so consistent management and training around these items will be beneficial.
