I just have two legs, but this does not stop me from walking or snuggling.

Update: Russell was adopted on September 8th!

If you love to cuddle, then we encourage you to consider Russell.

He is an affectionate youngster who enjoys putting his chest on your shoulder and nestling his head by your neck.

Russell is a handsome Jack Russell Terrier mix, neutered male, 18 months of age, debuting for adoption today.

Russell appears to have been born without front legs. The family who surrendered him and three other dogs did not give us much background information. But they had let him breed with another small female and she had given birth to two puppies who also are missing front legs. Momma and her puppies will be available for adoption in the weeks to come when they are spayed/neutered.

He moves surprisingly well on his back legs, alternating between walking and shuffling in a dolphin-like movement. He may be a candidate for a wheeled cart, if designed in conjunction with your veterinarian, but he will need weeks or months of therapy and training to learn to use it.

Regardless of whether he has a cart or not, Russell would love to join a caring, forever home today. Please come meet him and let him charm you with his loving nature.

Anna Beanie Little Eric Michelle Nicholas Sisters Anna and Michelle , and their brothers Beanie , Little Eric , and Nicholas , are very affectionate babies who love giving you kisses. We rescued their pregnant mother, a Cocker Spaniel named Mary Poppins from a government-funded shelter.  She had reportedly been bred with a Scottish Terrier.  We placed Mary Poppins in a loving foster home and she gave birth to these five angels and raised them there. Mary Poppins is going to be adopted by her foster family.  Her puppies are now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption. Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety and protection.
