Rubicon was brought to Animal Friends after being found running at large. Even though he's 3 years old, he is all puppy at heart--and what a sweet heart he has. Rubicon is a high-energy boy who wants to play and give you a lot of love. We've found him to be incredibly affectionate. Rubicon wants a family who will help teach him manners through positive reinforcement training and leash manners. We recommend that he live in a family with members who are 13 years old and older. The start of his life might have been rough, and now Rubicon deserves the sweet life with a loving family.
Rubicon is also a part of our SCI Fayette Training Program, which means he is currently residing off campus at the Fayette State Correctional Institution where he is living with selected inmates. While there, Rubicon enjoys enrichment activities, positive reinforcement and force-free training. Basically, he lives full time with his new best friends and learns manners to better prepare him for you--his future family!
Rubicon is one of Aurora's "Special Canines, meaning that his requested adoption donation has been underwritten and his new family will receive a starter kit of supplies and other support based on his unique needs. This special package is made possible by Aurora's "Special Canines Fund established in honor of a spunky little dog named Aurora to ensure that dogs in our care who are struggling to find a suitable home due to their age, or unique medical or behavior needs are given that extra support.
Rubicon is also one of Animal Friend's VIPs! Our VIP Adoption Special was recently created as a means to spotlight some of our residents that have spent longer than average times in the shelter due to their more unique needs. With the VIP Adoption Special we hope to provide as much communication and education about each individual VIP resident and their unique needs as possible, as well as additional resources where needed upon their eventual adoption. Thanks to Charlotte, Dave, and rescue dog Cooper Stephenson, the adoption donation has also been fully underwritten for these VIP residents. Interested in learning more? Ask our Adoption team about eh VIP Adoption Special and learn more about these wonderful residents!
