About Russell:

Russell is a Labrador Retriever. He was born on February 4, 2018. Russell is a career change guide dog from Leader Dogs for the blind. He had a unique upbringing, as he was raised by a prison inmate until he was a year old. It definitely gives him some serious street cred at the dog park! Russell has a few nicknames, and Slider is one of them. He earned this moniker after the iconic character in "Top Gun" and because he loves to slide into a Superman position on any hard surface flooring. When he's not showing off his sliding skills, you can call him Russ or Big Russ. He's a playful and affectionate companion who's always up for an adventure and snacks. One of his favorite treats are bananas. Russell's got a heart full of love, loyalty, and a wagging tail that never stops. Russell’s handler is Dennis.

Don't miss out on this paw-some opportunity to de-stress and recharge. We can't wait to see you there!
