Say hello to Rufus, the 63 lb., four-year-old fun and energetic boy who loves to be included in absolutely everything, from board meetings to walks to family dinners.

Don't let his energy fool you though- when it's time to relax, Rufus is ready for it and will happily chill while you go about your business. Rufus is friendly with other dogs and even though he is big and strong, he is learning to walk nicely on a leash and loves to sit for a "Good boy!" When you bring out the toys, whether a ball, a rope or a stuffy, Rufus bounces around like a puppy, ready for action! If you are looking for a well rounded dog who likes a balance of chill time and activity, Rufus might be your new best friend. Rufus is neutered, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150. Please email adoptions@hstt.org for more information. *We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each dog based on personality and the behavior we’ve observed rather than a breed label.
