About Rufus

Rufus is a 9-month-old, 30 lb Labrador Retriever mix who was rescued from a difficult situation as a small puppy. He is a shy boy who will need time to decompress and feel safe in his new home. Rufus would do well in a family with a fenced-in yard and another dog to help him feel comfortable and learn the ropes, as he currently thrives in a pack of eight dogs. He has been fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

Ideal Home

Rufus needs a family with a fenced-in yard and patience to help him build confidence. He would also benefit from living with another dog.

Ongoing Health

Rufus is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.

Training & Support

Rufus is shy and will need time to adjust. An adopter should be prepared to help him feel safe and confident.

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Rufus is currently in Puerto Rico and will fly to Chicago, Illinois for his adoption. Adopters must be able to travel to Chicago to pick him up.
