Lacey! She is so sweet & gets along great with all my dogs and really enjoys playing with them. She has a fun & outgoing personality. House & crate trained. No food aggression & loves treats. Walks on a leash but needs some more work. Loves to hang around you & sit with you. I’m sure she would be happy to sleep with you at night instead of a crate. She loves the outdoors, had no problem with all the snow today and she wanted out every time the door opened. She would probably love to have a play mate & fenced yard. Hasn’t been around children, she did chase a barn cat but backed off when he stopped. She would love a forever home!!❤️

Age is a Shih tzu mix , 5-8 years old and 13 pounds

The difference fostering makes!!!

Strawberry came to us from California labeled “fear and aggressive.” Was said to be biting and thrashing on her leash. Not exactly enticing for people to adopt her there or try to rescue!!

We never judge by this! We said send her to us!

She came scared and didn’t want to be touched which is understandable!

First night in foster she hid in a corner and her crate and wanted nothing to do with anyone. Fosters let them have their space and decompress!

A day or two later she started coming out to explore and lounging by herself in the sofa. Still didn’t let Fosters too close or touch her. Again they gave her her space!

Another day or two she was starting to feel more comfortable and making friends with the other dogs!

Today that’s her laying next to her foster mom on the sofa with the other dogs and allows her to pet her! She also is coming up to them and giving kisses and sniffing ears!

It’s been a week!!! One week and look how this little ones life and personality has changed!

This is what you can do as a foster! Take a dog that no one will give a chance and watch them blossom into a sweet member of someone’s family and have their life changed forever! From possible euthanizing to a family’s beloved pet all because you said yes I’ll help!!

Become a hero! Become a foster!

Rescue sure is a roller coaster! Last week we were able to place and help so many and watch our village come together! This week has been a challenge! We never get to celebrate long! As of yesterday we have 5 dogs that were adopted or fostered heading back to us or that we have to find new fosters for! That means we have to say no to 5 that are waiting for our help to come to us! It breaks our heart to have to say no.

Please please if you foster or adopt give them more than a few days or a week to adjust! It’s a BIG adjustment for them! Would you adjust in just a few days if you moved to another state and new home with total strangers??

We desperately need Foster’s so we can keep doing what we do and we need those that will be patient and give the dog time to adjust! It’s not always easy but it’s so worth it!!

If you want to make a difference please apply here! We supply everything you need! All we ask is you provide a safe place, food, and patience ❤️

***Please also let this be your PSA for your pets! Please please have a plan for your furry friends if something should happen to you! Buster’s person had a family, they are the ones that took him to the shelter… the day after Christmas. 😭Don’t assume your family will consider your pet family and do right by them.***

Bellatrix was on hold in CA for behavior. After maybe 24 hours of my only interaction with her being treats, dinner, and clean-up, she let me pet her. Maybe 10 minutes later she was in my lap.
I gave her a few days to decompress before slowly introducing her to the other pets. She mostly ignores the cats and LOVES my bulldog mix, Bo.
My 9 year old son came home 1 night and she was scared of him. He comes back tomorrow for 6 days, and I’m hoping she will warm up to him after a day or so.
After 5 days of being here, she’s acting like a normal happy dog! I think as long as her forever family is ok with slow intros and has some patience, she’ll thrive in most homes.
I’ll keep you posted as we learn more about sweet Bellatrix!

She is a schnauzer/cairn terrier mix who is a little over a year old and 19 pounds!

Meet Strawberry 🍓

This cutie came to us from California! She was understandably scared and nervous the first few days but each day she’s warmed up more and more! She’s starting to make friends with the other dogs and learning she can trust her Foster’s!

She is potty pad trained(still too scared to go outside), and great with other dogs around although it takes her a few days to interact with them and accept that they are friends. A pretty easy going little gal!

Strawberry is approximately 6 years old, chihuahua mix and 10 pounds.

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.
