About Ruffo

Ruffo is settling in at the rescue after spending nine years with his family. A sweet Labrador Retriever, he is looking for a new home where he can enjoy the company of caring people who have time to connect with him beyond just brief daily greetings. In his early years, Ruffo thrived on obedience training and adventures, but recent times have left him a bit lonely. He appreciates treats and stuffed Kongs, and while he’s not a fan of thunderstorms, he’ll manage them as long as he’s indoors with you. This gentle giant gets along well with dogs and children, making him a wonderful companion. Updates will be provided in mid-October, so stay tuned! Ready to make Ruffo a part of your life?
