Ruffus's Story

Meet Ruffus - A Busy Boy with a Big Personality! Ruffus is a 3-year-old pointer mix who has been with us since April of 2024. He's hoping to find his forever home. Originally found as a stray, not much is known about Ruffus's past, but we do know that he's a little guy with a huge personality. He's got a lot of energy and a curiosity that's boundless. There's always something for Ruffus to do-whether it's investigating new smells, checking out every corner of the shelter, or meeting new people. He's constantly on the move and always up for an adventure! Though Ruffus can be selective about his dog friends, he has been with other dogs in the past and with the right introduction and a dog that respects his space, we believe he could do just fine in a home with other dogs. He may need time to adjust, but with a little patience and understanding, he'll be a loyal companion to his doggie friends as well as his human ones. Ruffus thrives in an environment where he has things to explore and people to enjoy life with. He's a versatile guy-happy to join you for a walk or adventure, but just as content to lay at your feet or lounge on the couch. He's curious and enjoys new experiences, but he's not overly energetic or demanding. If you're looking for a dog with a big heart, an easygoing nature, and a personality that will bring warmth and companionship to your home, Ruffus could be the perfect match for you. After nearly a year of waiting, Ruffus is ready to find a family that will give him the love and attention he deserves. If you're ready for a dog that's full of life and adventure, then what are you waiting for? Ruffus has things to do, places to be, and people to see. All he needs now, is you.
