Russell - Stratford

My story

Meet Russell!Russell is a young, happy-go-lucky pup with a zest for life and a heart full of love. This energetic boy thrives when he’s outdoors — whether he’s exploring the yard, going for long walks, or just soaking up the fresh air, Russell is always ready for his next adventure.When meeting new people, Russell can be a little unsure at first. He may take a moment to size things up and build his confidence — but give him a little patience and kindness, and you’ll quickly see his true personality shine. Once he warms up (which doesn’t take long!), he becomes incredibly friendly, affectionate, and eager to be your best buddy.Russell would do wonderfully with an active family who can help him channel his playful energy and continue building his confidence. He’s smart, loving, and so ready to find a home where he can run, play, and then curl up after a day well spent.If you’re looking for a loyal adventure partner with the sweetest smile, Russell might just be your perfect match.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:55 lbs.HOME TYPE:Any!CHILDREN:Yes- potentially compatible with dog savvy childrenCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Yes - potentially compatible with proper introductionsOTHER DOGS:Yes - potentially compatible with proper introductionsACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation..TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:At least three in-person training sessions to work on socialization, basic training, and manners**For more information on any behaviours stated above, please check out our behaviour fact sheet: https://kwsphumane.ca/BehavioursandDefinitions**Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets.
