Description:

Meet Rufus!

Rufus (or Rue Rue) is one of the sweetest and most sensitive dogs I have ever known. He will literally give me a hug. One of his favorite things to do is to cuddle right next to me on the couch and lay his little head right on my chest. Rufus loves to go on walks and gets very excited when he sees his leash.

Rufus also loves to go for rides in the car and is EXCELLENT in the car. He always sits quietly in the backseat without any prompting whatsoever.

He accepts the kennel, but much prefers to sleep in bed w/ his foster parents and his pug brother. Rufus is not a fan of cold weather, so he needs a sweater or coat to go outside for walks or to go potty. He also isn't sure what to do about snow, so we have had to coax him outside w/ his leash to go potty until he gets used to it.

Rufus is not a playful dog - I am not sure he has ever learned how to play. We are trying to teach him and he shows that he wants to start playing with his pug brother, but is not quite sure what to do. Rufus would much rather lay and cuddle.

My 5 year old son loves to read to Rufus and Rufus is excellent with him. Rufus would be great with small children that want to cuddle and gently love on a pet. My son even is in charge of the leash when walking Rufus , and Rufus obeys him well.

Rufus deserves a home that will be very loving and reassuring. Once he knows that he is there to stay, he will melt your heart with his unconditional love and big soulful eyes. And if you come home from a bad day, I promise that he will be the best greeter you ever had.

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.

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.
