Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rufus is a Take Me Home courtesy post. Rufus is not affiliated with Take Me Home. He is not under our care. Take Me Home is not responsible for any adoptions through private parties. For more information on Rufus or to meet this handsome boy please contact Brynn at (949) 470-3046.
Meet Rufus, the world’s perfect family dog! Rufus is a 3-year old, male, Lab mix. He came to the shelter because his family moved from Texas and their landlord would not allow a large dog in the new home. It was heartbreaking for the family to give him up because he was so bonded with the children. In his previous home he lived with several kids from 1 to 15 years old, all of whom were crying when they said good-bye to this sweet dog.
Rufus would love to find another family with plenty of children to keep him company. He would be the perfect dog to take to soccer games, BBQs, and camping since he is such a fun-loving boy. So if your kids are looking for an instant friend, look no farther than Rufus!
