My story

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

A stray gave birth on my lawn to 11 puppies back in May 2025. 10 survived. Rehomed 7 through friends and family . I have 3 boys left. Unfortunately i can’t keep them due to lease agreement with my landlord and city ordinance but she has been patient and allowing me to find a home for the pups.

This one here is Rufus. He’s very playful and affectionate . Gets along well with the pack and indoor dogs here at home but he is of a work breed. I tried to rehome with a private rescue unfortunately the Rescue Owner at that time wasn’t comfortable with how tense Rufus became. Rufus did nip and bark at another dog. Being introduced to 14 different dogs can be overwhelming and that’s okay. Nothing escalated . All was calm and over it pretty quick. Neither dog was neutered .

Prefer a rancher, hunter or experienced dog owner for adoption as I mentioned he is of a work breed but all are welcomed. As long as you promise to love and care for him til the end…

Thanks for reading! 🙏🏽
