My story

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

Bark Ruffalo is such a smart, happy boy! This one-year-old Australian Shepherd Mix weighs 56 pounds and has lots to offer the lucky family who adopts him. He’s almost house-trained and is making fantastic progress with his crate training. He’ll actually go into the crate on his own throughout the day! He may whine for the first 10–15 minutes but then settles in nicely.

When it comes to toys, Bark Ruffalo is all about using his brain — puzzle toys are his absolute favorite. Stuffies and ropes? Meh. But give him a good bone to chew on, a ball for fetch, or some cuddle time - and he’s all in.

Bark Ruffalo loves hanging out in the yard (especially if his people are out there with him), enjoys walks, and thrives with high-energy activities. He’d make a great companion for an active family!

He’s wonderful with children — his human foster sibling is 2.5 years old. If he gets a little rambunctious, he responds well to redirection and listens when told “no” or “stop.” He’s also great at playing with his own toys alongside her.

This smart cookie already knows sit, down, leave it, and release. Bark Ruffalo's friends at Wish Bone were told he is dog- and cat-friendly, although he hasn’t been tested with them in his current foster home.

If you’re looking for a fun, loyal best friend whose equal parts brains and heart, Bark Ruffalo might just be your guy! His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
