My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoption Donation: $100.00

 

'Hello! Aren't I a handsome devil?  I'm 5 years old and I'm a trim healthy 13 pounds of ruffian. I love to play, love to go for walks, and want to be your constant devoted sidekick. I have been working on some of my faults and will need to continue with an experienced and insightful Mom and Dad. I like to sleep with my humans and enjoy snuggling up for TV on the couch. '
 
Rufus has been to a behaviorist to assess his biting tendencies. He will need someone who is firm and can follow the behaviorist's recommendations to help correct his aggression. If you can not adopt, perhaps you would like to become one of Rufus' angels and help offset his monthly expenses by sponsoring him. There is a good dog in here. He just needs someone who is dog savvy and knows how to train and is patient. We don't want to give up on Rufus. He can learn! He is training in Largo, FL. Show Rufus you believe he can be a good boy all the time and either sponsor or apply for him today!
