Story
6 month old JRT puppy. Loving and very playful. I live in an apartment and work full time and he really needs a house with a yard to run in and maybe a family with kids or another little dog. He loves the dog park and he loves to play fetch, he’s actually very smart. I love him very much but he needs more than what I can give him, and that breaks my heart but I know we can find a good home for him. He comes with a ton of stuff. I just somebody who will love him as much as I do.

Story
Hi, I'm Rufus! I'm a silly and playful boy with a lot of energy. I would be a great hiking or jogging buddy. I have experience with other cats and dogs from my previous home. I also have experience with older kids but I love to steal mechanical pencils and school supplies. Please come visit me at the shelter today!
