Hello there, I'm Rufus, an 8-year-old canine with a heart full of love and a yearning for a serene and tranquil home. Here's a little about me:
🐶 Solo Star: The Only Pet You'll Ever Need
I'm looking for a home where I can be the center of your universe, without any other furry companions to share the spotlight. I'm ready to shower you with all the love and attention you'll ever need.
🏡 Tranquil Territory: Peaceful Oasis Preferred
I thrive in a calm and quiet environment. A home with minimal visitors and a serene atmosphere would be the perfect backdrop for our journey together.
🛡️ Guardian Instincts: Resourceful Protector of Loved Ones
I have a strong sense of guarding the people I hold dear. It's my way of showing my devotion and ensuring their safety. You'll have a faithful protector in me.
👶 No Room for Little Explorers: Adults Only Zone
While I'm a sweetheart, I'm not the best match for young kids. My timid nature and specific needs are better suited to a home with adults who understand and appreciate my unique personality.
🐾 Timid Turnaround: Patience Leads to a Lifetime of Loyalty
At first, I may be a little reserved, but once I warm up to you, I'm all in. I'd move mountains to make the people I love happy and cherished.
If you're seeking a faithful companion who will cherish you and create a world of tranquility, I'm Rufus, and I'm ready to fill your life with love and loyalty. Let's embark on this journey together! 🐾❤️
🌟 Meet Rufus: Your Loyal and Devoted Companion! 🐾

Find the pet for you at the Adoption Center:
Angels of Assisi’s adoption center is open from 12-6pm, 7 days a week. Adoption Specialists and Volunteer Ambassadors are eager to help you find the pet that would fit best in your family.
Adoptable Pets in Foster Homes:
Some of our available pets are currently in foster homes. If an animal is currently in a foster home, it is noted in the animal's biography online.

Found the perfect addition to your family? Now what?
The next step is to fill out an adoption application. You can complete and application online (preferred) or stop by the adoption center to fill out a paper application. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older. If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord or see a copy of your lease to verify the pet policy. Most applications can be approved within 24-48 hours.
