Tex – Happy Tails!

Check out this amazing Happy Tails story written by Julie (loving Mom of Tex!)  We couldn’t be more thrilled for Tex!  He hit the jackpot!  Happy Tails Tex!

“It’s Official – we have a new Devlin!  Welcome to the family Tex!  We felt the Fourth of July was the perfect “Gotcha Day”.  Tex (13) arrived January 2, 2022, as a foster for Russell Rescue Inc..  He had severe dental disease.  He was unsure how to trust and love.  

Well, that’s all changed! 

Tex, fondly known as Mundo and Gumby, is now toothless with an appetite that rivals his senior brother Chip’s.  He shares a bed with his brother Bruno.  He and his sister Olive hang out.  He found his voice and joins in on the barking fests.  He displays frequent “Wilburisms”.  Most of all, he knows what love, security and trust mean. 

❤️ HE IS HOME ❤️

Happy Gotcha Day sweet Tex. We love you! (7/4/22) Thank you,  Russell Rescue for bringing him into our lives.

If you are unsure about adopting a senior, don’t be! They are amazing and love with their whole heart! ❤️”

Roscoe aka Moose – Happy Tails!

Roscoe was rescued from a shelter in Oklahoma recently.  He found a wonderful forever home with a previous adopter.  Here’s what his new mom has to say about him!  

“I have renamed Roscoe to Moose, his official title is “Second Chance Mulligan Moose”.  He is fitting in nicely with the pack, even had a meeting with the rat at barn hunt practice.  Moose is a busy boy and has started basic obedience classes.  Thanks for giving us a second chance, I have given him the birthday of October 17th, National Mulligan Day.”

Happy Tails Moose!

Barkley – Happy Tails!

Barkley came to Russell Rescue in September of 2021. This guy had been living outside, and didn’t know what it was like to be spoiled or loved. He didn’t know about couches, laps, and snuggles in soft blankets. Barkley found an amazing home last Fall. As you can see from the video and pics, he’s definitely figured out what couches and snuggles are all about! Barkley’s mom is amazing and she is teaching him all kinds of neat things. He recently won the small dog division recall race! And he’s starting level 2 obedience classes soon. Barkley is so smart and loves all the new attention from Mom. He had his photo made with the Easter Bunny last week and wanted to share with us.

Also, did you know Jack Russells can sing? Well, Barkley can! Check out the video! From streets and shelters, to couches and laps!! This is what rescue is all about! Happy Tails Barkley!

Addie: Happy Tails

We just love Happy Tails stories around here!  This one comes from Kathy.  She is Addie’s mom.  Read their heartwarming story below.  Thank you Kathy, for sharing the photos and story with us!  And thank you for giving Addie a wonderful, forever family!  Happy Tails Addie!  We are so happy for you!

“Addie is an amazing little dog!  She was found as a stray in Oklahoma and placed in foster care with Russell Rescue.  After saying goodbye to my 12 year old Corgi, I swore I’d never go through that heartbreak again, but after a few months I couldn’t take the quietness in our home anymore.  I started by looking at local breeders, but by chance I found Russell Rescue online and realized how many misplaced dogs are looking for safe and loving homes.  I saw Addie’s picture and thought maybe she was the one. Her caption read “Can you say perfect dog” and that was spot on!
Russell Rescue took great care to visit our home to see the environment Addie would be living in, and her well-being was their top priority.  Understandably, Addie was a bit hesitant and conservative at first.  She has been with us for 3 months now and what an awesome life we have together!  As she got more comfortable with us, she shared some little tricks that she knows: dancing, sitting up with her paws out, she will even jump thru a hula hoop!  I’m greeted each and every morning with her spunky personality and unconditional love.  She loves riding in the car and of course, our evening walks.  There are 3 little girls that play on their bicycles every evening and Addie ALWAYS has to stop and say hello, get their cookies and dirt kisses, and then we enjoy the rest of our walk.  We end each day snuggled together in the recliner, so thankful for our new life together!”
