Description:
Rufus is a great boy who is VERY excited to be sprung from his high kill shelter. He is a rambunctious teenager of a shepherd who is looking for a home that will show him the ropes and teach him obedience. He has never met a stranger and loves other dogs. He is a big rambunctious boy so he may knock down toddlers on accident. We have not tested him with cats. Please click on the adopt button to meet this sweet boy. UPDATE FROM RUFUS' ADOPTIVE HOME 4/28/12:
Quick update on Rufus....He is FANTASTIC! He's grown into a very handsome young man, loves being around other dogs and people. We are so happy he is part of our family.
UPDATE FROM RUFUS' ADOPTIVE HOME 08/01/12: Took Rufus on his first vacation - Park Rapids, Long Lake. He is an excellent swimmer and loved playing in the lake. However, I think he liked chilling on the position best. He was a good boy, my husband would say "Let's go for a boat ride" and Rufus would run down to the dock. During the day we would have to keep him on a leash with us outside, too many "new smells" and he wanted to go exploring on his own....we saw a black lab that was struck by a car and was down the road from our cabin, I freaked out and there was no way I was going to let my baby on the road. At night I think he was so exhausted from swimming and running at the beach he would just lay by us around the fire. All our friends and kids who went up with fell in love with Rufus.
Once again I have to say Rufus is a wonderful, funny, loving and all around super-fantastic dog. He has become part of our family and we love him.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. 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.
