Meet Rufus, the high-octane superstar of the dog world! 🎉 This spirited boy is on the hunt for a new home where he can unleash his vibrant energy with plenty of playtime and exercise. Can you say ‘zoomies’?! 🏃‍♂️ Rufus thrives on fun and companionship, whether he’s wrestling with his foster brothers, engaging in an epic game of tug-of-war, or sprinting joyfully around the yard like a furry tornado! Now, Rufus might enjoy being the sole king of his castle, but believe it or not, he’d also appreciate the company of another active pooch to share in his playtime adventures. His heart is as generous as his energy levels! 💖 Successful interactions with older children show that Rufus can be quite the sweetheart; just be mindful, folks—his exuberant love for face kisses might be a tad overwhelming for tiny tots or kids who aren’t used to big ol’ goofballs! But wait, there's more! Rufus isn’t just all muscle and play; he’s also smart as a whip! 🧠 He knows all the basic commands and is enthusiastic about learning more. While he’s working on soothing his anxieties—like patiently waiting to leave his crate and not jumping on everyone in sight—he improves by leaps and bounds every day! With your love and continued training in his new home, Rufus can truly shine and might even excel at agility training—imagine the joy of watching this boy leap through hoops! 🎾 You’ve got to love a dog with a heart! This handsome doofus here absolutely adores attention and would trade all his toys just to curl up in your lap at the end of a long day. 🥰 He’s a big boy at heart, and every night, he brings his lovable self to bed, snuggling up as close as possible to his foster mom. Now, Rufus does have a congenital condition called pulmonic stenosis (PS), which means his heart has to work a little harder than usual. Lucky for him, he’s had successful surgery to correct it! Surgery has him feeling tip-top, but his new family should check in for yearly heart check-ups to keep Rufus in top shape! This is Rufus—the buddy you didn’t know you were missing. If a charming, energetic, and lovable companion feels like the perfect fit for your home, don't wait! Apply through the Buddy App to bring Rufus into your heart and home today! 🌟
