About Rufus
Rufus is a young male mixed-breed dog with a short chocolate-brown coat. He carries a playful and high-energy spirit, eager to explore but still a bit cautious when getting started. After some initial hesitation with the leash, he walks well and frequently checks in with you. His playful side shines through as he interacts in a curious, skittish manner, though he’s still figuring out how to engage with toys. Rufus takes treats gently but doesn’t seem particularly motivated by them. While he might know the commands for sit, he can be a little nervous with his ears and mouth being touched, although he is more comfortable with his feet and tail being handled. Rufus does get along with other dogs, making him a friendly addition to your household. Currently, he is up to date on vaccinations and, once adopted, will be spayed. He is not yet house trained, so a patient home would be best for him. If you're ready to offer a nurturing space for Rufus, the next step is to get in touch!
