What kind of dog is Rufus? That’s a good question.
He is listed as a shepherd mix, but he could be anything or many things!
He weighs fifty-six pounds, he’s about three years old, and he came to the shelter as a stray in January.
Rufus has many wonderful qualities; he’s sweet, smart, happy, and affectionate.
He walks nicely on the leash and rides nicely in the car.
He will probably do well with respectful kids.
He’s gentle, loves to learn, and is very food-motivated.
Kennel life has been very stressful for Rufus, and he’d like to find his “furever family” soon.
If you’re a special person looking for a very special dog, Rufus may be the dog for you! Don’t you want to meet him and find out?
