Today, our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye to Russ, a beautiful 16-year-old rescue who brought endless love and light to everyone who knew him. Especially his devoted human, Aaron. Russ passed peacefully in Aaron's arms, knowing he was deeply loved until his last breath.

Russ wasn't just a dog - he was family. A much loved member of the midlands whippet racing club, he touched so many lives with his gentle spirt and loyal heart.

Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, Aaron is unable to bring Russ's ashes home - something he deeply wished for, to keep Russ close forever.

No one should have to make that kind of decision when grieving.

As a community, lets come together to honour Russ's Memory and help give him the homecoming he deserves. Every small donation will help us bring Russ's ashes back to Aaron, where he truly belongs.

Let's rally for Russ. Let's stand by Aaron. Let's bring his beloved boy home.

Our goal is to raise £300, and the club has already pledged £100 toward this.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to getting Russ home where he belongs.

Thankyou for your support and kindness.
