Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rufus is a striking 9 month old chocolate lab. He weighs around 50 lbs and considers himself to be a big lap dog. He is a very smart boy and knows some basic commands. He is house trained and let's you know when he needs to go outside to potty. He sleeps in a dog bed at night rather than a crate. He would love to be part of an active family and he is fabulous with children. He gets along well with dogs, but he considers himself to be Alpha. He needs a fenced yard to play in and he loves to play chase with his dog friends. He would be fine as an only dog as long as he has plenty of human interaction. He loves playing with toys, and he is great in the bath as well as a good car rider. He needs work with leash training, and he is house trained. He loves the water and would be a great dog to take to the lake or swimming with you. Rufus would benefit from some Rufus is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and current on trifexis. He is fostered in Huntsville, AL, and you can fill out an application for him here: http://forrescue.net/dog-application/. Once we receive, we will forward to his foster family and they can tell you all about this big sweet boy!
