Rufus

Rufus<br/>3 years, 20lbs<br/><br/>Meet Rufus! This little guy is 20lbs and three years young. Rufus is a single-eyed fellow but that doesn't affect his quality of life at all. He's a cheerful companion and friend to all. If you're looking for a friend for long walks and snuggles, Rufus is your guy. <br/><br/>Rufus was brought into the shelter in Texas with an eye injury, and after evaluation it was determined the best course of action for his ongoing health was for it to be removed. <br/><br/>Rufus is a sweet, calm, and gentle soul who is about as easy to love as a dog gets. He's house-trained, completely non-destructive, and treats every space he's in with total respect — he chews only his own toys and has never given his foster family a moment of worry. He's wonderful with kids, gets along great with other dogs and cats, and has zero food aggression, preferring to graze casually throughout the day at his own relaxed pace rather than inhaling his bowl the moment it hits the floor. That kind of easygoing energy pretty much sums Rufus up.<br/><br/>His ideal day looks something like this: a good morning walk, some time lounging in the yard soaking up the sun (water bowl nearby, shade available if needed), a cozy stretch on his dog bed, and plenty of time near his people. He loves being around the humans in his life and is polite about it too — if things get a little crowded, a quiet "down" is all it takes and he'll settle right beside you without fuss. He handles being home alone for typical stretches just fine, but he'd really thrive with someone who's home more often — a remote worker or retiree who wants a loyal, low-key companion for daily walks and quiet evenings would be his perfect match. He does best with free-roam rather than a crate, which is a non-issue given how trustworthy he is in the home. He does prefer a calm environment and is sensitive to loud noises. Rufus just wants a quiet spot in the sun and someone to come home to — and he'll give everything in return.<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt Rufus, apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt.truenorthrescue@gmail.com to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE.
