For the Holidays, D’Angelo Russell is giving back to Bay Area families

In the spirit of the Holidays, D’Angelo Russell hooked a pair of families with new pets for the holidays.

Is there a better holiday surprise than a new pet? Better yet, puppies? The only correct answer is no. To get the holiday week underway, D’Angelo Russell hooked up a pair of families with new puppies Saturday night.

With the help of Compass Family Services and the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Russell gifted puppies to families for the holidays.

Russell teamed up with Compass Family Servies, who help homeless families and those at risk of achieving housing stability in San Francisco, to find deserving homes for puppies from San Francisco’s SPCA shelter.

Russell celebrated with the families in person, as seen in the video below via the Golden State Warriors Twitter account.

Since D’Angelo Russell signed a max-contract with the Golden State Warriors over the offseason, his future with the team has been in question. Should the Warriors keep the 23-year old All-Star for the future or use him as a trade chip has been a pressing question since his arrival in the Bay Area.

If Russell continues to knock down game-sealing shots, while finding ways to give back to the Bay Area community— the Warriors will have no other option than to keep the guard long term.
