My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rufus: Your Heart's New Coonhound Companion!

Hey there, I'm Rufus, a charming coonhound mix with a story that tugs at the heartstrings. Life took an unexpected turn, and I found myself at the rescue alongside my sibling, surrendered by my previous owner. But I'm staying positive and looking forward to a forever home filled with love.

Sweetness is my calling card - I've got a heart as big as the great outdoors. Despite the challenges, I've maintained my loving nature. Cuddles, kisses, and wagging tails are my language of choice. But let's not forget my playful side - I've got energy to spare and a love for all things fun.

Couch potato? Yep, that's me too! After all the excitement, I'm more than happy to curl up beside you, enjoying quiet moments and sharing our days together. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the great outdoors. I'm a fan of outdoor adventures, exploring new scents and sights.

When it comes to friends, I'm as friendly as they come. Dogs are my pals, and I'm all about spreading joy among my furry companions. I'm on the lookout for a forever home where I can be the loyal and loving friend you've been searching for.

If you're seeking a cuddly, playful, and outdoorsy companion with a heart full of love and loyalty, look no further. I'm Rufus, and I'm ready to bring a whole lot of tail-wagging happiness to your life. Let's create new memories and embark on a journey of shared love and laughter.
