Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rufus is a gorgeous black 3 year old black male with natural ears. He is a very affectionate boy, very gentle, and he loves to play. He has good manners overall, and he's eager to please. Though he is still learning about leash-walking, he's making rapid progress with a halti. He absolutely loves to ride in the car. Rufus gets along well with medium and large dogs, particularly if they like to play too! His prey drive is a bit too high for smaller animals. He is accustomed to going everywhere with his people, and he does not like to be left alone for long periods of time. He is good with children. He is crate trained, and actually uses it for security if he feels anxious. Rufus is looking for an active home where his family is around most of the time.
