Rufus has the kindest eyes that will melt your heart and make you want to be his best friend. This 2-year-old, 15 lb Yorkie/Lhasa Apso mix is a true sweetheart who is eager to leave his past behind and find his forever family. He is currently a little underweight but is expected to reach a healthy weight of 18-20 lbs. Rufus was abandoned and left to fend for himself for several days before a kind person intervened and helped him get to safety. Despite his rough start, Rufus remains incredibly sweet, trusting, and ready to give all his love. He forms deep bonds and wants to be a part of your family. Rufus has a moderate energy level, enjoying walks and adventures, but is equally happy to cuddle up for a nap. He's the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal sidekick and a devoted best friend. As a Yorkie/Lhasa Apso mix, Rufus will need regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and tangle-free.
