Russ is a laid-back, affectionate senior Chihuahua mix who loves soft blankets, comfy beds, gentle scratches, and relaxing beside his person. Once he feels safe, he’ll happily curl up with you for a quiet evening and politely nudge your hand when he’d like more pets.

He isn’t interested in toys or high activity and would much rather lounge than chase a ball. Russ enjoys blueberries, cheese, peanut butter, and other snacks, and he handles alone time well.

Ideal Home

Russ would do well with an experienced dog owner who understands canine body language and respects his boundaries. He can be shy at first and prefers not to be moved once settled. He is comfortable with men, women, and older children who understand his need for space.

Ongoing Health

Russ is 10 years old, vaccinated, and neutered.

Training & Support

Russ is house-trained. He is a calm, low-activity companion who enjoys lounging and relaxing near his people.
