Russell - Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Lisbon, Iowa

Meet Russell!

Russell is one of a litter of eight puppies looking for his perfect forever family! His mama, Molly, is a 40-pound Pembroke Welsh Corgi/Border Collie mix, and DNA testing on his littermate, Jessie, confirmed that their dad was a Golden Retriever. With that combination, Russell is sure to grow into a smart, loyal, and loving companion.

Born on May 15, Russell currently weighs 10 pounds and is expected to reach 50-
70 pounds as an adult.

Russell is a curious, playful puppy who loves to explore everything around him. Right now, his favorite "toys" happen to be his siblings' tails! He's always ready to chase, pounce, and turn everyday moments into a game, bringing plenty of laughs with his silly puppy antics. Russell's playful spirit and inquisitive nature make him a joy to watch as he discovers the world one adventure at a time.

Russell is doing wonderfully with housetraining. Like all young puppies, he'll need a family committed to continuing his training and taking him outside at least every four hours during the day until he's older and able to hold it longer.

Because Russell is expected to be a large dog, he will require a physically fenced yard where he can safely run, play, and burn off puppy energy.

Russell will be 10 weeks old on July 24 and will be ready to head home with his forever family at that time. Before adoption, he will be neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and receive his first two distemper/parvo vaccinations. His adopters will be responsible for his third distemper/parvo booster at 14 weeks of age and his rabies vaccination at 16 weeks.

If you're looking for a happy, playful puppy with a curious mind and a knack for making you smile, Russell is ready to become your new best friend!
