My Story

Hi, I’m Rufus, and if you’re looking for a calm, mellow gentleman with a soft heart and a serious appreciation for affection, I think we should meet! 🐾💙

My foster family describes me as calm, mellow, affectionate, cuddly, and friendly. I’m definitely more of a couch potato and lounger than an athlete. Give me a comfy place to relax, some gentle scratches, and people I love nearby, and I’m a happy guy.

I have very nice manners, too! I’m house-trained, walk very well on a leash, ride great in the car, and I’m respectful of fences. I know “sit” and seem to know “shake,” too. When we’re out walking, I’m a mellow gentleman and don’t get overly excited about the things going on around me. At home, I’m pretty quiet—my foster family says I’m not a barker. I also know how to use a doggy door!

I’m not especially food-motivated, although I’ll happily accept treats. I prefer treats placed on the ground rather than taking them from your hand. I’m also not very interested in toys, and I’m not a big chewer. Basically, I’m a pretty easygoing fellow.

When it comes to making friends, I appreciate people who are calm and respectful of my space. Once I’m comfortable with you, though, get those hands ready because I LOVE attention! In fact, my foster family says one of the cutest things about me is the little butt wiggle I do when I’m being scratched. I stomp my feet back and forth because it feels so good! And if you happen to stop petting me before I think you should, I may gently nudge your hand with my head as a little reminder. 😄

I’m ready to trade my foster home for the one thing I really want—a forever family of my very own. If your idea of the perfect companion is a sweet, quiet, cuddly guy who enjoys leisurely walks, car rides, lounging around the house, and plenty of affection, I just might be your Pyrfect match.

Love,
Rufus 🐾
