Rufus is very sweet and loves to be outside. When we first rescued him from the acct philly he was estimated age 4-5 yrs and extremely energetic and did not trust us to touch him. He would nip at us if we reached out to touch him. We have had him for 5 years + and he has really come a long way. He loves ear scratches and belly rubs. He loves going for walks but if you take him running he will sit down after about five minutes. His favorite toys are soft but beware if your children leave stuffed animals lying around he will claim them. He has a loud bark but he is a big scaredy-cat! Rufus is crate trained. We found now that my husband is back at work Rufus spends all day alone and becomes anxious and pee/poops even in his crate. He does not like to be alone and will follow us around the house. He sleeps in our room and is a loud snorer. He loves sleeping in. Rufus is a good dog but he deserves a home where he gets lots of attention and walks which is why we want to re home him.
