About this Dog
Hello everyone, my name is Russet. I am a very tiny 5 lb. Maltese boy about one year old. I am lots of fun with my random bursts of happy energy but I am also content to hang out with my person all day. One of my favorite things is to play with small tennis balls. I am great with other dogs of all sizes and with respectful children. I’m working on potty training but I’m pretty smart so I know I’ll pick it up with some gentle help and a good schedule. My leash training is coming along so I won’t need a fenced yard to go potty. Sometimes I freeze when I’m on a leash because I’m not quite used to it yet but I am getting there. I kindly request another dog in the home to keep me company because I get really sad and lonely when my humans leave me. I just can't help but voice my discontent when I'm left alone! I have a lot to say, so I also bark when I want someone to pick me up or when I'm crated. Shared walls aren't a good idea for me. I know how to sit when asked. I’ve never been around kitties but I bet it would be OK because I am such a sweet and laid-back little guy. My foster mom says I am a super sweet little fella. I sure would love to have a home of my very own and a family to cuddle up with. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***

100% of Russet's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Russet.
Adopt Russet and Receive Russet's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Russet's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Russet's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Russet, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Russet's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Russet was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Russet’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Russet’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Russet’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
