Sʜᴇʟᴛᴇʀ dogs are always sad because they don't get much love from owners. Therefore, nobody can imagine how grateful and happy a sʜᴇʟᴛᴇʀ dog is when he gets a loving home where he can live a great life with his humans who love him unconditionally.

Meet Russ, a 4-year-old pit bull found home in the loving arms of Kayla Filoon, a student who volunteered as a dog-walker at ACCT Philly, an animal sʜᴇʟᴛᴇʀ in Philadelphia. Kayla was used to spending time with ʜᴏᴍᴇʟᴇss dogs, but when she met the sad dog with ᴘᴀᴛᴄʜʏ ꜰᴜʀ, she knew there was something special about Russ behind his ʀᴏᴜɢʜ appearance.
