Meet Sir Russ! 👑🐾
Sir Russ is a 10-year-old, 8.5 lb sweetheart who is incredibly easy to love. This precious boy enjoys snuggling with his people on the sofa or in bed, although he is also perfectly content curling up in his favorite corner surrounded by a cozy blanket. If he is cuddled in your lap or tucked into your arms, it is almost guaranteed that he will fall right asleep. 😴
Sir Russ has very limited vision and hearing, so he has developed his own special way of communicating. When he barks, he may be asking for food, water, a potty break, or simply some extra snuggles. His foster family works through the possibilities until they figure out exactly what their little gentleman needs!
Despite his limitations, Sir Russ still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He loves leisurely walks on a leash, rides wonderfully in the car, and enjoys lying outside on the lawn while soaking up the sunshine or relaxing in the shade. He also loves being gently wrapped in a small blanket and carried around all snuggled up.
Ideal Home
Sir Russ needs a patient family who will learn his special language, keep him cozy, and give him all the snuggles he deserves. Because he can startle easily, he should always be woken gently.
Ongoing Health
Sir Russ has a light heart murmur and currently receives eye drops and ointment for dry eye and other eye-related concerns. He can be a tough little cookie when it is time for his medication, so he needs someone patient and comfortable caring for a senior dog with medical needs.
Training & Support
When he needs to be moved, wrapping him in a soft blanket helps him feel safe and secure.
