Rufus

Hi, I'm Rufus—and I'm a pretty easygoing guy looking for my furever home! <br/><br/>I'm a 9-year-old gentleman who is friendly, low-maintenance, curious, and just happy to enjoy life. I may be getting older, but I still have plenty of personality—and I've got a few hobbies that keep me entertained!<br/><br/> I'm VERY curious! I like to explore my surroundings and investigate all the interesting things I find.<br/><br/> I LOVE hunting for frogs and mice! It's one of my favorite pastimes. I'm pretty sure I'd feel the same way about a cat, though, so a cat-free home would be best for me. I promise I'm not trying to be difficult—I'm just following my instincts! <br/><br/>Here's a little more about me:<br/><br/> I'm good on a leash and enjoy getting out for walks.<br/> Cars don't bother me, and neither does the mailman. I don't need to bark at every person who comes by.<br/> I'm good with people and kids.<br/> I like my chew toys and am perfectly happy entertaining myself.<br/> I'm good at the vet, so those visits are pretty easy with me.<br/> I'm crate trained, although I haven't actually lived inside a house yet.<br/><br/>Since I haven't had much experience living in a house, I'm looking for someone who understands that I'll need a little time and patience while I learn all about this new thing called "indoor living." <br/><br/>I might be a great fit for someone who has a secure yard where I can hang out during the workday, then come inside with my family at night and whenever the weather is too hot or too cold. I'm pretty low-maintenance, so I don't need to be entertained every minute of the day.<br/><br/>As for other dogs... I'm still figuring that one out. Some females seem to be okay with me, but I may be happiest as your one-and-only dog. A meet-and-greet would be the best way to see if we might be friends.<br/><br/>I'm not asking for much. A safe place to call home. A yard to explore. Some good walks. A few chew toys. A family who will give me time to learn. And, of course, someone who will love me for the curious, sweet old guy that I am. <br/><br/>I've got a lot of good years and good adventures left in me.<br/><br/>I'm Rufus. If you're looking for a friendly, easygoing companion with a little bit of a "frog and mouse detective" personality, maybe we're meant to be! <br/><br/>Want to meet me? Give my rescue mom a call at 901-570-1488!<br/><br/>P.S. If you have frogs in your yard, I may consider that a bonus feature.

I'm crate trained, although I haven't actually lived inside a house yet.

Since I haven't had much experience living in a house, I'm looking for someone who understands that I'll need a little time and patience while I learn all about this new thing called "indoor living."

I might be a great fit for someone who has a secure yard where I can hang out during the work
