About Rufus
Rufus is on the lookout for his forever home, and he’s eager to leave his troubled past behind. Found wandering in a parking lot in Alabama, this sweet boy was simply hoping for someone to help him. He was picked up by Animal Control and faced the grim reality of a high-kill shelter, but fate intervened when a foster stepped up to rescue him. Now safe, Rufus shows just how incredible he can be. At around 2 years old and weighing about 54 pounds, Rufus is a medium-sized blend of Pit Bull Terrier and Hound. His affectionate nature shines through every day as he embraces people, other dogs, and even cats. Rufus is house trained and loves car rides, making him an easygoing companion. He truly flourishes in the company of others, and it’s clear he just wants a family to call his own. Rufus deserves to know the warmth and security of a real home.
