I have adopted four dogs now from Russell Rescue and have always had a great experience. I think their application process and requirements are perfect because they assure the dog is going to a great home. I love that they care if you spay/neuter, give vaccines, heartworm prevention, and if you are the right fit. It shows they won’t just give a pet to anyone. It’s important to insure the pets best interest since that is what rescue is all about. The director and volunteers are wonderful! You can adopt with them with ease as if it’s not the right fit or life ever happens they always want to take the pet back. Highly recommended!

We adopted a dog from Russell Rescue in November. Yes there are a lot of rules, but well worth following them. We had a few dogs in mind and they will caution you about issues….for your own sake! We absolutely love our little guy & so happy we adopted him from Russell Rescue. We plan to foster or adopt another one or 2 from them when Cooper is totally trained.

Owner is not professional. Fosters need to work on specific questions instead of going on tangents that have nothing to do with adoption of a dog. Work on being more professional.

I have had the pleasure of fostering several pups through Russell Rescue and they have been an absolute pleasure to work with! My family and I have loved the opportunity to show these poor animals some love and compassion on their way to their “FURever” families! Please consider adopting or fostering these pups deserve so much love ❤️

Before this puppy Ive bought my dogs. This was my first journey into rescue dogs. I saw this baby when he came up on my FB feed. I was not intending to adopt. I was making plans to get another King Charles Spaniel. But there was something about Noodle. I filled out an application, got my vet and my references ready and waited. It took a little longer than I had hoped but once things started rolling it went very quickly. The foster did an excellent job of preparing him for a home.He is just what we all needed after our precious girl passed away. I would adopt with them again.

Well, this is a first time using a pet rescue shelter wanting to adopt a pet. The criteria to adopt is that a pet in your home has to be spayed/neutered and on heart worm prevention. On their Facebook, there were dogs posted for adoption that had heartworms. I was informed that the shelter did not have the funds to treat every animal that comes into the shelter. I was called an irresponsible pet owner because my pet had not been neutered/spayed and on heartworm prevention. Then my comments must have been deleted and access to their Facebook page was blocked. After multiple conversations about the pet I wanted to adopt, I was told about the pet that was not mentioned in the pet's profile/story. Maybe I was told about the pet's behavior that the pet "does not like men and will bite". Maybe the reason could have been due to the fact that I mentioned my mother, husband and wanted to adopt. I still have the conversations on messenger between the founder Mary Ruth Rogers, Colleen Thomas and I. Wonder how many applicants are approved and are able to adopt that end up being cruel, neglectful, abusive, mistreated, etc. that are adopted. Have to wonder how many animals that come into shelters that have been there for quiet sometimes and how long the animals will have to stay there waiting to get adopted. Again, your pet/pets have to be spayed/neutered and on heartworm prevention before adopting, yet, there are pets are up for adoption that have heartworms. There is nothing mentioned in this review that is untrue. Wonder how monetary donations are used on other things and not on the pets. I am not an IRRESPONSIBLE pet owner. The cost to adopt a pet is $275 and so the price ends up being $300. Wonder where the other $50 goes toward.
