Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rufus
Breed: Cocker Spaniel/Poodle
Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge
Age: Senior
Weight: 26 lbs
Fun fact: When his hair is long he looks like a mini Sheepdog!
Foster home: Palmyra, WI
Activity level: Moderate
Friendly with: Dogs and older kids, not cat tested (he’s a bit shy so small children may spook him)
Sleep style: Dog bed, he’s like Goldilocks and on a search for a bed that’s just right and happy to test them all until he finds it!
Meals: A mix of kibble, pumpkin and canned food
Snore-o-meter: 0/10
Bark-o-meter: 2/10, rarely barks even when other dogs are
Shedding meter: 0/10 (will need to be groomed regularly)
Fashion: A red ascot would stand out against his black and white coat
Signature color: Red
Walk out song: Here Comes The Sun- The Beatles
Favorite season: Spring and fall, likes easy and mild weather just like his personality
Personality: Sweet, gentle, inquisitive, intelligent, happy
Loves: Testing dog beds, sniff-aris in the backyard, walking on a leash, cuddling on the couch (should not be left unattended), learning about the good life!
Neutered ✅
Microchipped ✅
Housebroken when on a schedule ✅
Takes treats gently ✅
Crate trained ✅
Great on a leash ✅
UTD on vaccinations ✅
UTD on preventatives ✅
No vision? No problem! Rufus is a sweet and gentle dog who is doing great in his foster home. He’s learning the ropes from his canine foster siblings and adapting to a new environment quickly. Though he has no vision and limited hearing, he remains a loving and happy dog who is looking for a family of his own. Could that be you?
Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.
Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $300, ($550 for a pair). Learn more about Albert's Dog Lounge, our mission, and adoption policies by visiting Albertsdoglounge.org.
