She knew they will be together. “He came in as a stray, and he was really beat up”
“He was missing fur on his tail and ears. He was also terribly skinny”
“He was just sitting there calmly, staring at me… And I thought… I need to take him now”
Filoon knew she needed to act fast, as recently the shelter had to put 15 dogs to sleep
“Any dog had a chance of being put down… and Russ was definitely one of them”

“He’s such a love bug, honestly.” Filoon hopes the photo will inspire others to adopt
