My story

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

Hi there, I’m Rufus - a 4 and a half year old large mixed breed, which means I’m old enough to have manners but still young enough to enjoy life (especially walks).

I’m great with older kids, friendly with other dogs, and kennel trained—so yes, I understand house rules and try to follow them. I also know my basic commands, which means I’m smart and handsome. A rare combo. My hobbies include:
•Playing with stuffed toys like a professional
•Going on walks (sniffing is very serious work)
•Standing very politely for baths and grooming because I enjoy being clean and fabulous

I’m looking for a family who wants a fun, well-behaved companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality. If you’re searching for a dog who’s ready to fit right into your life, congratulations - you found me
