If you couldn’t tell Rufus was a German Shorthaired Pointer mix just by looking at him, his signature point when waiting for you to throw the ball will definitely give him away. This 6-year-old superstar is ready to make some friends and show you the confident kind of dog he can be. Rufus is incredibly smart — he knows his name and how to acquire the ball when you think you’ve secretly hidden it.
What Rufus really wants is a home with consistency! The shelter environment can be complex and changes with every passing moment; Rufus prefers a calmer life where he gets through the day on his own terms. Once he trusts that you’re a consistent, reliable person, he’ll open up and become the affectionate, sweet boy he’s meant to be. He’s just a boy who likes a routine — who can blame him?
Rufus is looking for a home where he can play with the ball as much as he wants, take care of his people, and truly relax. If that sounds like your space, come meet him today!
With his rugged good looks you will have a hard time not falling for Rufus. He is brand new to the city and a little nervous at times. He seems like he is going to adjust quickly though. Rufus likes to say hello to strangers and he does well on walks although he seems to prefer quieter streets at the moment. Rufus loves chasing after toys and having fun. He is quite the lover boy once he gets to know you, so don’t be surprised if you get a few kisses from him. Rufus has a lot of love waiting to give your family. If you are interested in meeting him, please fill out the online pre-adoption form today.
