Rufus's Story

Say hello to Rufus! Hes a lovable 58-pound hound mix whos looking for his forever home. <br/><br/>Rufus has a gentle, sweet and affectionate personality that makes everyone fall in love with him. He gets along well with other dogs and could fit right in as a fun new member of your pack.<br/><br/>Rufus is housetrained and working on his leash walking. Hes been a great passenger in the car, quietly watching the world go by. At home, you might find him snuggled up on his foster moms bed with a few toys or relaxing outside in the yard. He especially loves curling up in the garden for peaceful naps, soaking up the sunshine and fresh air. <br/><br/>He has run of the house right now and chooses where he wants to sleep at night. Sometimes thats on a dog bed near foster moms bed, or on a chair in the living room. <br/><br/>Rufus is hoping to find a quieter home where he can continue to build his confidence. He may be a bit shy at first when meeting new people and trying new things, but hes always curious and willing to learn. If youre ready to share kindness and encouragement, Rufus will give you endless love and loyalty in return.<br/> <br/>Rufus is estimated to be 5 years and 58 lbs.
