Rufus's Story

He's a very loving boy who enjoys attention and has plenty of energy to run and play. Because he loves to explore, he should always be in a securely fenced yard or on a leash, as he may run off if given the opportunity. He does wonderfully with children and has been around my three kids, with whom he has always been gentle and affectionate.
