Meet rufus

This handsome all-black boy is ready to start a new chapter with a family of his own. Introducing your new best friend: Rufus!

Rufus is a striking possible Lab mix, sporting a sleek, all-black coat that makes him stand out from the pack. Like most puppies his age, Rufus is playful, curious, and endlessly adventurous — always ready to explore something new and soak up all the love he can get.

Rufus is young and will adjust well to a home with kids, cats, and other dogs with proper introductions, making him a wonderful fit for a busy household or a first-time pup parent looking for a friendly companion. Hes affectionate and eager to bond with his new family.

Since Rufus is still just a baby, he isnt potty or crate trained yet — but hes ready and willing to learn! With some patience and consistency, this smart pup is sure to pick things up quickly.

The first step is completing our application. Once received, well review it to see if you and this little one may be a good match!

If youre ready for a lifetime of love (and a little puppy mischief along the way), apply today at www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org!
