If you’re looking for a dog with bounce, brains, and a big ol’ heart (literally and figuratively), you’re going to fall in love with Rufus.
This 3-and-a-half-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix is a goofy ball of sunshine with energy to spare and endless affection to give. He’s happiest when he’s zooming around the yard, playing tug-of-war, or showing off his wrestling moves. And once the games are over? He’s more than happy to be your 56-pound snuggle buddy.
Don’t let his playful energy fool you - Rufus is also incredibly smart. He already knows his basic commands and has been working hard on his manners. He’s mastering polite crate exits and learning how to keep all four paws on the ground when he’s excited (but we’re not blaming him for being happy to see you!)
Oh - and did I mention he’s a heart warrior? Rufus was born with a condition called pulmonic stenosis, but thanks to a successful surgery, he’s thriving. He just needs yearly checkups to make sure his ticker keeps ticking strong - and trust us, it’s full of love!
Rufus is ready to be someone’s best friend, snuggle buddy, and forever playmate. All he’s missing is you!
