It never stops 😢😢 We need your help!

This is Oscar! A 13 pound , 4 month old puppy that is recovering and doing well after Parvo! He has been in isolation and will have to remain there another two weeks at the cost of $60 a night! That’s a big bill for us not to mention the money we have already spent on his treatment and will need to spend when he’s able to be neutered and get the rest of his vaccines and tests. The only way he can go to a foster is if there are no other pets in the home! We have been pleading for someone to help but have not found anyone so all we can do is leave him there and pay the bill!
If you can donate towards this we would greatly appreciate it!!

Thank you!!

This is Oscar! A 13 pound , 4 month old puppy that is recovering and doing well after Parvo! He has been in isolation and will have to remain there another two weeks at the cost of $60 a night! That’s a big bill for us not to mention the money we have already spent and will need to spend when he’s able to be neutered! The only way he can go to a foster is if there are no other pets in the home! Do we happen to have anyone that fits that and could help us and foster him??? It would be a huge blessing to us and little Oscar not having to stay in an isolation crate!

Meet Howie!!!
He has been looking for his forever home for a VERY LONG time! He wants to know why he hasn’t been chosen when he’s such a good boy! His foster mom was no longer able to keep him so now he’s back in boarding 😢😢😢😢

He really needs a foster or adopter 🙏🙏🙏🙏

His foster mom said he was the sweetest and best dog!! Gets along with most other dogs just needs a slow introduction ,house trained, crate trained, great with kids, just a great guy!!! 🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️

Howie is a 7-8 year old Jack Russell mix and around 20-25 pounds. He has had a lot of disappointment in his life, but he still wants to find his forever family and be able to love and be loved!! 

Can you give this sweet boy the stability and forever home he dreams of, so he doesn’t have to keep being moved around through no fault of his own??? He will need someone who can be patient with him as he learns to trust you but once he does you’ve got a faithful companion for life ❤️🐾

Precious Peanut was post on a site a FREE. So
Dangerous for this little guy could have ended up in a place that could have been terrible

He is now with Russell Rescue and has been totally vetted. Only a year old and cute as a button. Tiny at only about 11 lbs.

His only issues with his precious owner is her son was allergic.

Little one will no longer be passed around hoping he find a safe, loving qualified home. Russell Rescue will be sure that happens.

He needs an adopter of foster so he can leave the vets office on Monday

This is Toby. He is a 9 year old Chihuahua mix that needs to find his forever home. He is the sweetest little boy that we have been fostering for Russell Rescue TN since December. He is known to have done well with calm dogs of all sizes and cats. He has done well at the groomers and the vet. He loves to go on walks and car rides. His favorite thing is to have his belly rubbed. Please share in the hopes to find this little guy his forever home.

His backstory is he had a daddy who loved him and he passed away. Upon the death of his daddy, the family (the brother) came in and (couldn’t) take care of Toby and brought him to AC. Toby didn’t do so well there so he went to a foster home with RR!

Milo is an 8 year old Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix, weighing in at a perfect 10 pounds! 🐕 This sweet boy is the ideal balance of energy and chill vibes—he LOVES playing fetch and will bring the toy back to you all day long. 🏃‍♂️🎾 When he’s not fetching, you’ll find him happily lounging as a true couch potato. 🛋️ At night he sleeps great in his crate 😴 Will potty outside or on pads!

Milo enjoys outdoor adventures, exploring the yard, and is ready for walks on a leash or in a fence! He’s great with other dogs and kids, making him the perfect family companion. 💖

Lola!
Lola!

Lola is 9months old and is around 50lbs. She is a goofball and loves to play with the kids and run around in the backyard. She is potty trained and crate trained. When she’s not running around loves to give you kisses and snuggle up beside you. She enjoys toys and treats and getting better with catch and return. She loves playing with bubbles and is great with kids. She would be great with a family or with another medium large dog. She does forget she is a larger dog as sometimes she wants to be a lap dog. She will need more leash training as she is used to playing outside in the backyard. Apply online or email [email protected] if already approved 🐾🦴

Dean 🐾

Super Bowl SundayJust a little update on Dean he’s doing very well. He’s such a sweet dog and so very smart. Here he’s brushing up on his defense skills working on keeping a hold of the toy so nobody gets it.Dean gets along with other dogs with proper introduction, he’s 100% potty trained. Crate trained. He does need some work on basic commands but overall a solid loving sweet dog. Very vocal, would do best with a very active household. He loves toys and loves to fetch balls. Dean weighs about 10 pounds. Apply online https://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/ or email [email protected] if already approved 🐾

Helping innocent creatures one at a time!

Russell Rescue of Tennessee was formed in 2008, by Mary Ruth Rogers of Columbia, TN to save small abused, injured and elderly dogs that are typically overlooked by other rescues in shelters in Tennessee. Since then, we have grown every year into an organization with volunteers in several states across the South that saved well over 400 dogs in 2014 alone. We hope to continue to grow and save more and more lives in the future.

Russell Rescue of Tennessee holds weekly adoption events at Petsmart in Spring Hill Tennessee, as well as attending other special events in Middle Tennessee. Our goal is to find loving forever homes for all the dogs we touch. If we rescue a dog, we will spend as long as it takes to find that home,

The $200 adoption fee we charge is based solely on our expenses for having a normal dog examined, vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped. It does not cover the costs of shelter pull fees, transportation, food or any special medical treatment the dogs we rescue may need. All of these expenses as well as all cost incurred as part of adoption activities are funded by donations from our supporters like you. It has been thanks to the generosity of our donors that we have been able to save many dogs with terrible injuries or illnesses that would have died alone in a shelter without us.
