What are you waiting for? Apply today! Rufus was rescued from a challenging situation in Georgia, where he found safety with a loving foster family before beginning his journey north to New Jersey in search of his forever home. This adult male has a calm and gentle demeanor, with impeccable manners that make him a true joy to live with. Rufus is housetrained, crate trained, and eager to please, always striving to make his people happy. He’s a quiet, affectionate companion who enjoys being close to his humans, often choosing to relax wherever they are. Social with other dogs, Rufus happily spends time outdoors but is content to return inside and settle in. His lower-key personality makes him an ideal choice for someone looking for a sweet and easygoing friend. While thunder can unsettle him a bit, Rufus copes well overall. He has a healthy appetite and shows no signs of food aggression. Soon arriving in New Jersey, Rufus hopes to find either a foster or, even better, a forever family ready to welcome him home. Neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and fully vetted, Rufus is prepared for a new start. He’s already received his second chance—now all he needs is the family who will cherish him. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
