Meet russel
Russel has been settling into foster life for almost a month, and his playful side is getting plenty of exercise. This 8-year-old, 80-pound boy regularly plays with the large dog in his foster home and has also done well with a small senior dog. He lives with cats, too, usually offering a sniff before returning to his own interests. Alongside that growing confidence is the affectionate dog familiar staff and volunteers know: one who rests his head in laps and enjoys head scratches and belly rubs.Russel is experienced with dogs, cats, and children. During an overnight visit with a 7-year-old, his foster observed that he approached slowly and did not jump on her. Doorways, including car doors, still make him hesitant, but he does well once inside and benefits from patient encouragement. His foster reports that a few initial marking incidents have stopped and that he is making good progress with indoor manners. Russel is in foster care, not at the shelter. To arrange a meeting, email adoptions@indy.gov.All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.
