Rufus isn’t currently at the rescue, but he’s in urgent need of a new home due to his owner’s sudden move—she can’t take any dogs with her. Rufus is about four to five years old and has a sweet, affectionate nature. He gets along well with other dogs and is good with kids, making him a nice fit for households that already have dogs or children. Men can make Rufus a bit uneasy, though he does warm up when given time and patience. He’s not neutered yet, but the rescue is ready to help new adopters get him neutered and vaccinated. He has a brindle and brown short coat and is a large mixed breed, mainly pit bull terrier and doberman pinscher. Rufus has not lived with cats, and he's not suited for homes with livestock or chickens. He is not yet house trained, so his future family should be ready for some patience and training. If you’re looking for a loyal and friendly dog and can give Rufus the time to adjust and feel secure, he’ll return the favor in affection. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
