Meet Rufus – Your Big, Smart, Handsome Sidekick Rufus is a 65-pound, 3–4-year-old pup who is equal parts strength, smarts, and heart! This boy has been through a lot, but you'd never know it by how much he enjoys attention and being around people. After being abandoned and spending nearly two years without proper grooming, Rufus recently got a fresh start (and a fresh shave!). Underneath all that neglect was a beautiful white coat that will grow back in even more stunning with regular care. We're not entirely sure if Rufus is a Poodle or a Doodle mix—but whatever he is, he's going to be a showstopper once his coat comes back in! Rufus is an intelligent guy who already knows “sit” and would thrive in a home that can provide him with structure, exercise, and continued training. He has a fun, energetic side and would love an active family or person to keep him engaged. He would enjoy kids but most likely do best with older children. He does well with dogs his size but isn't a match for cats, chickens, or smaller animals. Rufus will require regular grooming, but in return, you'll have one incredibly handsome and loyal companion. If you're looking for a smart, strong, and devoted dog who just needs a chance to shine, Rufus might be your perfect match.
