Rufus is a sweet dog searching for a patient and understanding home, definitely without children, where his boundaries can be respected. He can be sensitive to being pushed or pressured; if he’s on your bed or in your way, kindly asking him to move is the best approach. If you attempt to force him out of a space, he will react by biting.

Sadly, Rufus has been adopted twice before but returned due to similar issues. Some may describe his behavior as bipolar, but we believe he simply needs someone who can build a trustful bond with him.

With the right person, Rufus has the potential to be a deeply loyal companion who offers unconditional love and joy in return for understanding and patience.
