🌟 Meet Rufus, the gentleman of the canine world! This lovable stray boy has captured hearts everywhere he goes, and it’s time for him to find the forever home he truly deserves! We can hardly believe he was never reclaimed, right?! 💔 At a handsome 50 pounds and thought to be a charming boxer mix, Rufus is looking to bulk up a bit more with his caring foster family. With his neuter appointment on the horizon, he’s just about ready to embark on this new adventure to find his special someone. When you welcome Rufus into your life, you can be assured he’ll come to you up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and with a clean bill of health—heartworm tested negative and already started on his monthly preventatives! Look at that beautiful fur growing back nicely! 😍 Now, let’s talk about this sweet boy’s personality! Rufus is not just well-behaved; he’s unusually smart! 🧠 He knows those classic commands like sit, come, and heel—impressive, right? And when it comes to walking, this chap doesn't mind if the leash is on or off, he's a pro at it! But what Rufus truly desires is that warm companionship. He dreams of curling up next to you and soaking up all the love you have to offer. While he’s not too keen on playing with our male dog, he’s definitely not aggressive, just more of a peaceful spirit. Being around 6-7 years old, Rufus is ready to transition into that blissful, calm life. He would thrive best with a lovely lady who’s looking for a loyal sidekick and a gentleman watchdog (that’ll bark but never bite!). And let’s be real, this sweetheart simply cannot handle being left alone in a crate. So, if you’re someone who truly understands the bond of loyalty, Rufus is the companion for you! 🐶 His dream home would include a doggy door to come and go as he pleases, a spacious fenced yard for those sunny days, and, of course, those magical daily walks with his favorite human. Ready to invite this lovely guy into your life? 🥰 Embrace the joy and love Rufus will bring to your home! And guess what? Adoptions from out of state are absolutely welcome!
