About Rufus

Rufus is a middle aged boy but still has plenty of life, love and playful energy to share! Tennis balls are definitely the way to his heart! He absolutely loves them, and they're also a fantastic motivation for his training. He currently knows sit and shake command. He enjoys getting out and about, exploring new places and making the most of every adventure like the beach or river. He's looking for a home where he can enjoy life, get out and about, but then snuggle up on the couch with you at home. When it comes to other dogs, Rufus can be selective. He may be comfortable with some dogs, depending on their personality and how they get along, so careful introductions would be important. Rufus enjoys having company and would prefer a home where he isn't left on his own for too long. If you're looking for a playful, adventurous companion who still has so much fun and happiness to give, Rufus could be your new best friend.
