Shelter dogs are always sad because they don’t get much love from owners. Therefore, nobody can imagine how grateful and happy a shelter 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 shelter in Philadelphia. Kayla was used to spending time with homeless dogs, but when she met the sad dog with patchy fur, she knew there was something special about Russ behind his rough appearance.
He came in as a stray, and he was really beat up,” Filoon told The Dodo. “He was missing fur on his tail and ears. He was also terribly skinny. They told me he was about 40 pounds when he came into the shelter.”

Filoon fell in love with him at first sight, and Russ felt the same way. “He was just sitting there calmly, staring at me,” Filoon said. “And I thought, he is adorable! I need to take him now.”
