Meet rufus
Rufus is a 5.5-year-old fluff-ball of a husky with derpy eartips and a love of humans and life. We adopted him three years ago and he has thrived in a house with older children and a couple of cats. He enjoys walks and runs, particularly in winter. He's trustworthy and can be left to roam the house for long periods of time when we're not home. He does very well off-leash. Rufus loves snuggles and leans into hugs and pets. He gets along well with other dogs, particularly others who are up to play.
After a lot of anxious contemplation, we're looking to rehome Rufus because of a behavioral/environmental issue we can't find another solution for: On rare occasions (five times over three years), he has grabbed someone's foot and applied enough pressure to puncture or cause bruising. This has only happened with unfamiliars, and only when he's startled AND anxious from lack of familiarity. We would like Rufus to be in a lower-human-traffic environment without very young children.
