Meet rufus
Like many dogs, Rufus was found as a stray and nobody has come to claim him. He is a friendly, outgoing and cuddly boy estimated to be about 2 years old. He gets along with other dogs and would make a great companion!

IS THIS DOG SAFE WITH CATS?
There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description!
IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS?
No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process.
IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH CHILDREN?
The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs.
WHY IS THIS DOG IN THE SHELTER?
The top reasons dogs are given up are:
Moving without considering the needs of the pets
Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets
Previous owner did not provide appropriate training
Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog
Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
