What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreRussell’s favorite toy is anything that squeaks or is the favorite toy of any of his friends at the dog park. He especially loves to steal toys and play keep-away.
Russell’s most unique quality is his friendliness and playfulness. Always the most social and silly pup at the dog park, he’ll be the first to arrive and last to leave if his mom would let him play forever!
Because he’s the perfect blend of charm, character, and pure joy. Just look at him— that smile could brighten a whole city block. His curls deserve their own fan club. His eyes say, “I love you,” even before the tail starts wagging. And his personality? Pure sunshine with a side of goofball. He’s not just a dog—he’s the definition of happiness with four paws and everything else Americas Favorite should be!
