Description:

Meet Rufio!

Rufio is a sweet 4-year old male who arrived at the shelter after a Good Samaritan found him running loose and brought him to the safety of the shelter. He was not wearing a collar so there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag to enable us to locate his family .. And he was not microchipped.

Rufio is housetrained and doesn't mind his crate.

He made himself right at home, jumping up on the couch and settling in. He plays with the toys, but his interest wanes when the human's does. He thinks every passing human is part of his tribe. We took him to the farmers market and lots of people wanted to pet him, including toddlers. He wanted to jump on them, but we made him sit and he was very attentive and calm. He seemed fine and not nervous with kids.

He rests when we stop paying attention to him and stay in one spot, but follows us whenever we move around the apartment. He just sat and watched me take a nap, and was extremely affectionate when I woke up.

He rarely makes noise. No barking or whining so far. He has howled a few times when others dogs walked by and we wouldn't let him go see the dog.

Rufio seems very driven by his nose, and wanders in every direction except backwards during walks. He does jump on people constantly, and at the door when we leave. This was only a problem for children. We are working on making him sit before we open the door. He will sit for treats, so he can be trained out of this.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
