Russ, the adorable Pitbull, discovered his forever home with Kayla Filoon, a 20-year-old student who volunteered as a dog walker at an animal shelter in Philadelphia. ACCT Philly, where Filoon took Russ to work, became the place where their love story began.
The connection between Filoon and Russ was instant, evident from the moment their eyes met. This adorable photo posted on Facebook by Filon’s friend captures Russ’s affectionate nature!
Allow me to introduce Russ, who can resist that charming face?
For Kayla Filoon, it was love at first sight. “He entered as a stray, all beaten up and in poor condition.”
Russ was a malnourished dog with fur loss, and Filoon knew the shelter was considering euthanasia. That’s when she made the heartfelt decision to bring him home and adopt him!
Russ was overwhelmingly grateful for his new loving environment; he emerged as an immensely affectionate companion.
Snuggling became his favorite activity!
According to Filoon, he is the embodiment of the “perfect dog.”
“While I was studying one night, Russ sought every possible way to cuddle with me,” Filoon shared.
Soon after Kayla’s friend shared an adorable photo of Russ on Facebook, it quickly became a viral sensation.
Animal lovers worldwide expressed their immense affection for Russ!
“He’s such a sweetheart,” Filoon gushed. Russ was adored not just by Kayla but also by her six other housemates. Although it took him some time to settle into his new surroundings, Russ eventually adjusted.
Thanks to constant love, care, and ample rest, Russ made an incredible recovery.
Now, he is healthy, content, and radiantly happy!
Kayla hopes that Russ’s inspiring journey will encourage others to consider adoption as well.
