RUFUS
Adoption Pending!

Only available to homes with no other pets in the household

 
RUFUS
Note From Rufus' Foster Mom: Rufus is a wonderful house dog. He loves to go for walks and run in the yard. He will be the perfect companion for someone who has quality time to spend with him, enjoys walking and wants a dog that will quickly bond to them and respond to attention. His obedience work is progressing nicely.

He is only available to homes where he will be the only animal in the family.

Rufus is a fun loving, 2 1/2 year old male who absolutely adores women. He is moderately active and loves to play, but is also very content to try to fit into your lap and hang out. He loves to go for long walks and play with his collection of toys.

Once you get to know him and he gets to know you, he will tug at your heart forever.

 
Rufus was an abuse neglect case. He is initially weary of men, but does warm up to them quickly. Rufus runs, can jump, and likes to play fetch. He does have an awkward gait from his abuse. He was beaten with a shovel and suffered some neurological damage to his sciatic nerve before animal control seized him and placed him into rescue.

This will not progress, but does give him a bit of a funny movement when walking and running. He is a young dog and has a lot of love to give. Rufus is good with children and we will consider placing him in a home with children 7 and up.( He has a little too much energy for tiny children).  

Rufus needs to be placed in a home as the only pet. Please do not apply if you have other animals. While he can be walked around other dogs, he wants all of the attention for himself and does have an issue with other animals receiving attention around him. We have not tested him with cats at this time.

 
If you are looking for a canine soul mate who will be grateful for your companionship and care, and will provide you with undying love and loyalty in return, Rufus is the dog for you.
