Russell

Description

Successfully rehomed by Blue Cross - Thirsk

Russell has to be one of the most unlucky dogs in the world! He was adandoned a few months ago by his previous owners, he had a collar on that was so tight it had caused a horrific wound to his neck which required treatment. It was probably put on his as a puppy and not loosened as he grew so had dug deep into his skin. Very sad and shows how neglected he has been.

He has since then been at two Blue Cross centres and no one has shown an interest in him. So we have brought him to Yorkshire hoping that his luck may change soon.

Russell is a bit timid initially and takes a little bit of time to trust you - no wonder really!
When he does know you he enjoys playing with his toys and running around off his lead like most young dogs.

Russell is affectionate and sweet when he has found his confidence. He would love a family in the new year that will give him all the things he has missed out on in his short life. His christmas list was " New family, some toys and a cosy bed". Not much to ask but so far he hasn't had any luck.

If you would like to offer this lovely boy the love and stability he deserves, please get in touch. We can't wait to make his dreams come true. He really deserves it.
