Rufus's Story

Rufus is a sweet and handsome 6-year-old Catahoula with a beautiful Brindle coat and soulful eyes that melt hearts. Fully housetrained and well-mannered, he's a loyal companion who adores cuddling up on the couch after a fun play session with his favorite squeaky toys or chasing balls in the yard. Rufus knows "sit" like a pro and is always eager to please. He thrives in a home with older children who understand gentle play, gets along well with other dogs (though he can be protective of his treasured toys), and would prefer a cat-free environment. With his affectionate nature and playful spirit, Rufus is ready to bring endless love and joy to his forever family. $135.00 Fee includes initial vaccines, worming, microchip with registration, and free vet health exam. This pet has been fed Country Vet Naturals, donated to us by Country Vet. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 104.2lbs Age: 6yrs 5mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered

SIOUXLAND HUMANE SOCIETY's Adoption Policy

ADOPTION INFORMATION The placement of adoptable pets into loving, caring homes, thereby enhancing the bond between pets and people is the primary goal of the Siouxland Humane Society Adoption Program. We focus on education so that every pet owner can benefit from their contact with the Shelter, whether or not they adopt a pet from us. Our knowledgeable staff is here to assist you in choosing a pet that is right for you and your family. Matching the needs of the pet with the potential owner, as well as responsible pet ownership education, helps to ensure the successful placement of Shelter pets. Visit our Shelter, tour the kennels with a staff member, and note which pet you are interested in. You can visit with the pet in one of our visitation rooms or our outdoor courtyard. We encourage everyone in the household (including other pets) to meet the new pet before making a decision. Should you decide to adopt, our staff will ask you to complete an Adoption Questionnaire and meet with an adoption counselor. ADOPTION FEES While you can’t put a price tag on a lifetime of hugs, kisses, companionship and unconditional love, there are costs involved in caring for a healthy pet. When you adopt a pet from the Siouxland Humane Society, we’ve already performed procedures that are critical for maintaining his or her good health. These important benefits are provided to you in the price of the adoption which include the following: • Initial Preventative Vaccinations • Deworming • Microchipping • Free Veterinary Health Exam Cats/Kittens $55 – $75 - $100 - $150* Dogs/Puppies $95 – $135 – $165 - $195 – 300* • Price varies based on breed, age, spay/neuter status and veterinary costs. Higher fees go to help other pets who wait months to find homes. • Prices may be less than those listed above for Cats/Kittens/Dogs/Puppies if the fee has been reduced from donations to our Sponsor a Pet Program.

The SHS may require other information or steps be taken prior to adoption to insure the pet is a right match for your family. The SHS reserves the right to deny any adoption for any reason.
