About Thelma~
**Meet Thelma!**
This adorable 1-year-old Jack Russell weighs in at just 10 pounds of pure sweetness!
**Here's what makes her amazing:**
* Fully **potty trained** – no accidents in the house or kennel
* A total **foodie** who loves treats and chew bones
* Can be a little shy at first, but warms up *quickly* and will be your best buddy
* Obsessed with **belly rubs** (100% approval rating!)
* Hasn't barked at all – such a quiet girl
* Loves to **run outside** and chase a ball (returning it… still a work in progress )
* **Comes when called** and knows her name
* Follows you everywhere – the perfect little shadow!
If you're looking for a loving, playful, and low-maintenance companion, Thelma is your girl!

You will be contacted if further information is needed.
We are 100% volunteer powered. Volunteers process the applications and need time above their personal needs and full-time jobs to process the apps.
Please have patience. We do not have any paid staff members.
Our adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies, HW check, and microchip.
Russell Rescue dogs are fostered in the Middle Tennessee area. We do not ship/transport our dogs, so the approved adopter must be willing to travel to Tennessee. Russell Rescue will try to first place our rescue dogs locally or in surrounding states.
Russell Rescue is not open to the public for visiting hours. We do not have a physical location of our own.
