Good afternoon, my name is Russell and I'm a Wilderness Explorer. Are you in need of a new buddy today? I'm a 1-year-old, Bull Terrier mix and I weigh around 70 pounds. I'm a happy go lucky, energetic, and playful guy. My friends here at PHS say that I'm super affectionate when cuddling and a full body player with equal parts goofball energy and genius brain. If you are looking for a effervescent personality that loves running, playing with soft toys and frolicking in the kiddie pool here at the shelter then look no further! I'm a total sweetheart; I just have to get my wiggles out first! I also love to learn and I'm eager to please. I hope to get as much training as possible so I can be a proper gentleman. If you are looking for puppy kisses and wiggly tails, I can deliver! Russell ID# A0978323
I recently went on a sleepover! Here's how I did:
Russell rode calmly in the car and confidently explored his new surroundings. By day two he was settling down on a dog bed on his own, and even the blender didn't faze him. He had zero accidents, slept through the night in his crate, and relaxes in it during the day too. This boy loves to play! He had a blast chasing balls in the backyard and adores soft toys (so much that he "loved" them all to pieces). He also enjoys gentle pets when he's calm and our eight-year-old son was happy to get some pets in. His training at PHS really shined through. He walks nicely on leash once settled, knows most of his commands, and quickly learned the kitchen and couch were off-limits. Like any puppy, he'll test boundaries for food or snuggles, but he responds well to consistent cues. Russell likes having his people close. He may whine when someone leaves, but he settles quickly once a familiar person sits with him, and he prefers company in the yard. With patience and consistency, this can keep improving. Russell will thrive with an active family who can offer plenty of exercise, clear boundaries, and help building confidence with alone time. In return, you'll get a smart, playful, affectionate companion who's well on his way to being a great family dog.Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.
