Meet Rufus, the delightful young Shih Tzu/Terrier mix, who’s here to sprinkle a little joy and love into your life! This sweet 3-year-old boy has faced some unfortunate challenges. 😢 Rufus was living with his beloved mother, Rose, until they lost their human to illness. Can you believe that they ended up living in a mechanic shop? 🚗🛠️ But don’t worry, he was rescued just in time! Rufus is so gracious, kind, and mellow; he truly deserves a cozy forever home. ❤️ Rufus dances through life with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. He’s the kind of pup who gets along with everyone – dogs, cats, and even kids! 🐕🐈👶 He’s been thoroughly pampered, examined by our vet, neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, ensuring he’s ready to jump right into someone’s loving arms. Now, let’s talk about Rose, his potential mother! 💕 At about 9 years old, this Havanese/Shih Tzu mix is a gentle soul herself. She’s a healthy girl who also got all the necessary check-ups—spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. But here’s the scoop: Rose loves to chase after cats! So a home without feline friends would be ideal for this lovely lady. Both Rufus and Rose are small and utterly loving—perfect companions for anyone! 😍 They are low-energy bundles of joy, content just being around their humans. No digging, no excessive barking—just pure companionship. They would fit perfectly into a retired lifestyle or be a great match for someone who works from home. Now, Rufus and Rose are seeking a foster or forever home in the Southern California area. Can you feel the love?
