Rufus's Story

Rufus, aka Tiny is a very big goofy boy. He is over 105 pounds and gaining weight here with us. Rufus was an unclaimed stray but has quickly made himself at home here at the Shelter. He is social and friendly but is a very strong and thinks he should be a lap dog.<br/>Rufus should not live with cats or small dogs, he may be best as the only dog in the house. He does not have strong social skills with other animals at this time.<br/>Due to his size he should not live with young children, he can be pushy and jumpy and could easily knock them over.<br/>If you are used to very large dogs and like big goofy silly dogs give us a call to meet Rufus.
