Meet Rufus, the true embodiment of resilience and love! 🐾 This remarkable boy has seen some tough times - he was pulled from a dire situation where he faced euthanasia, landing in the safe embrace of Dog Gone Home. When he first arrived, he had battles etched upon his body - tattered, torn, and emaciated with puncture wounds, yet not for one moment did that dim his spirit! 🌟 Now at 4 years old, this beautiful Pittie mix is ready to start his next chapter. With a sprinkle of wisdom in his grey fur, those marks are just signs of victory, showing he’s a survivor. Despite his past, you’d be amazed at his joyful demeanor and eagerness to please! 😍 After a period of wellness, Rufus transitioned to a Lodge & Learn program where he received tender loving care, support, and training to foster his belief that life is beautiful and humans can be kind. Now, in a loving foster home, he’s been socializing with other dogs and is eagerly awaiting his forever family. 🏠 Here’s what makes Rufus extra special: - 🌟 Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots - ⚖️ Weighs around 63 lbs of pure love - 🥳 Friendly and excitable towards humans - 😌 Curious yet neutral with other dogs - 🎉 Loves to bounce after his toys or just chill on your lap for some scratches - 😃 Has a tail wag that will light up your day every time you walk in! - 🎧 Quick learner, motivated by treats - ⚡️ Can occasionally get over-stimulated in new environments but has built a sturdy foundation for success! Rufus deserves a forever home that includes: - 👨‍👩‍👦 A family committed to refining and celebrating the skills he’s learned. - 🌳 A fenced yard where he can unleash his zoomies! - 🧒 Children over the age of 12 due to his energetic vibe! - ❤️ A family that values quality time and cherishes every moment with him!
