Meet Rufus! This charming three-year-old Chihuahua is a cheerful 20 lbs companion. He’s a one-eyed wonder whose spirit is undiminished by his past; in fact, his cheerful demeanor shows how little that affects him. Rufus is not just friendly; he’s also well-mannered. He’s house-trained, non-destructive, and respects his space. He happily only chews on his toys, making him a dream for foster families. He’s wonderful with kids and gets along perfectly with other dogs and cats. Rufus enjoys eating at a leisurely pace, grazing throughout the day without any fuss. His ideal day includes morning walks, soaking up the sun in the yard, and lounging close to his people. He thrives in calm environments and adapts well to being home alone for reasonable stretches. However, he would flourish with a human who is around more regularly, perhaps a remote worker or retiree looking for a loyal and gentle companion. Rufus prefers free-roaming to being crated, thanks to his trustworthy nature. He is sensitive to loud noises and seeks a quiet haven where he can relax, enjoying life's simple pleasures with someone who truly cares. This sweet soul is excited to find his forever home where he can share all the love he has to give. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
