Rufus is a 13-month-old young mixed-breed dog who’s settling in at the rescue in Shelburne, VT. A medium-sized male, Rufus has been neutered and is up to date on his vetting. He’s a little reserved in new situations, but his playful side comes out once he warms up—zoomies included. Rufus assessed well with other dogs and might do fine with cats, depending on introductions. He brings a fun, lively energy but isn’t over the top. He’s house trained and enjoys having some company but doesn’t demand constant attention. Rufus is still learning to feel fully comfortable, so patience and a gentle touch help him shine. The rescue will keep sharing more as his personality comes out. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
