My story

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

NOW PLAYING! RUFIO: THE LOST BOY OF LOVE!



He’s got the brains, the brawn, and just enough mischief to keep you guessing. This isn’t just a dog. This is Rufio.



Once a scrappy underdog, Rufio has emerged from the shadows of his past with a wagging tail and a heart of gold. Equal parts mischievous and loyal sidekick, this handsome pup is ready for his next great adventure: finding his Foreverland.



Rufio is the ultimate leading man: smart, loving, and just the right amount of goofy. He’s got that “bangarang!” spirit, and a knack for turning every squeaky toy into an action scene. Need a co-star for a car ride? He’s your guy (though he may cry a little during emotional travel sequences). Looking for comic relief? He’ll toss his toys in the air and entertain himself until you’re in stitches.



Off-screen, Rufio is pure heart. He’s a Velcro pup through and through, following his favorite humans like a shadow, or, let’s be real, like the world’s most loyal production assistant. When the camera stops rolling, he loves to snuggle up and take power naps worthy of an Oscar.



Every hero carries a few battle scars, and Rufio is no exception. After some old fractures and the kind of hard knocks that make a dog wise beyond his years, our leading man prefers his adventures with a slower pace. Extended hikes and steep staircases aren’t his kind of scene. While his stride might be measured, his heart still races at full speed for the people he loves!



He’s looking for a calm home, maybe with another laid-back, confident dog who can help him feel secure. A fenced yard and a comfy couch are all he needs to shine. He may bark when strangers approach (he takes his role as “guardian of the realm” very seriously), but deep down, he’s all love and loyalty.



Rufio’s been through his training montage and is ready for his happy ending- one filled with love, laughter, and lots of popcorn. Adopt this silly, soulful boy and let him be the hero of your heart’s story.



Rufio’s adoption fee is $450. He is estimated to have been born in May 2020 and weighs roughly 60 lbs. Rufio is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old.

More about this rescue

Forgotten Dogs Rescue is a volunteer and foster home based rescue organization focused on saving Pit Bull type dogs. Located in Washington State, we are a 501c3 non-profit and have been saving animals since 2011. We are dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned dogs who are in Washington's shelters, surrendered by their owners due to difficult circumstances or are in danger of abuse or neglect.

We save the dogs that need help the most, the dogs whose time has run out, the dogs who have lost all hope — the forgotten dogs.
