My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rufus is 7 year old. I got him from humane society when he was 8 month old. So he has been with me. Since I adopted him. He's really active. he has to be exercise and needs long walks to help calm him down. Also since his skin is hairless. when he's taken outside you have to add a shirt or something to help his skin so it doesnt gets burn. he gets hot quickly and should be in house .Other than that hes a good dog. He gets very excited and can knock down small kids and older peoples if hes not around his owner. I had to move with family and it caused me not to be able to take him out to walk and play with him. after i had a stroke due to my health system and they have small kids and he has to be handle correctly cause he a strong dog. he needs someone to handle him to follow the rules you provide for him. he obeys and is well trained. who ever adopts him will love having him. his personality is shy and loves to be outside but under shades, and provide alot of water.
