Rufus's Story

Hi, I’m Rufus!! I am a Heeler Mix, 7 months old and love to play!!! I’m good with dogs but take a minute to warm up, i’ve never been around cats! Kids, love!!! However , since i’m a puppy I may nip while playing!!! I love all ages but really would love someone who would play with me rough!! Men love me and I love them but may ask you take off your hat first!! I like to sleep in my crate but free roam when you are home!! I go potty outside but please remind me by letting me out… if I get to excited I may tinkle!! I know how to sit and shake and lay down (sometimes). I LOVE treats and all things cuddles. Ideal home would be somewhere that lets me be outside!! I do chew a little right now as I learn all about my adult teeth so please bear with me and help me!!!<br/><br/>Adopt below!<br/>https://linktr.ee/loveconnectiondogrescueaz?utm_source=qr_code
