Rufus got his lucky break out of a Georgia shelter and is now in foster care, waiting for his real home up north. This adult, medium-sized mixed-breed dog is quiet, gentle, and has impeccable manners. Rufus is both housetrained and crate trained, gladly settling down wherever his people are. He's calm and affectionate, blends in easily with other dogs, and though he enjoys the outdoors, he's often the first to head back inside for some relaxation. Thunder still makes him a bit uneasy, but he manages well overall, with no food aggression or other hang-ups. Rufus doesn't demand much—just a chance to be loved and close to his people. He'll need a foster or adoptive home on arrival in New Jersey, but he's primed for commitment. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and has been thoroughly vetted. Ready to meet your new best friend?
