Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.

Personality | Sweet, loyal, playful, calm.

Story | Rufus came into foster care about 3 weeks ago and has transitioned well to a family dog! He loves his people and other dogs. He's learning to get love and attention on everyone's terms, not just his. He's been good with kids of all ages, and truly is as sweet as they come!

Other Dogs | Rufus adores other dogs. Started a little timid and unsure but with his foster siblining dogs showing Rufus what to do, he loves to play. Give him a stuffy and he's up for a game of chase or tug any time of day.

We've had zero thoughts of any kind of escape from the 6 foot fence even with dogs on the other side, zero issues with feeding all dogs together, he jumps in the car on his own, and did great off leash with our other dogs in an open field. He will go in a kennel but does fine left alone free roam.

Cats | Interested and still learning

Children | Great

Training | House-trained

Leash | good

Activity Level | Medium, he likes to run and play with his foster sibliing dogs in their back yard

Health Notes | Rufus is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting Rufus!

Thank you! |
