My story

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

Rufus is a smart, energetic, and loving little terrier who is looking for a good home. He has a ton of character and personality and has a lot of love to give. We rescued him about 6 years ago and the shelter estimated that he was about 4 years old at the time so that puts him at about 10 years old now. Rufus is house trained and knows basic commands (i.e., sit, down, stay). We are expecting a child soon and we think that Rufus should be at a home that can provide him with the time and attention he deserves. He would do well in a home that can help him channel his energy through regular walks and play. He does not do well with large dogs but get's along well with small dogs just fine. He can be a bit slow to warm but once he does you’ll have a dog that will love you with everything he has.
