My story

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

Rufus - Doberman/German Pinscher - Male - 3 months - www.twyla.org

If you'd like to know more about this dog please visit our website at www.Twyla.org

Meet Rufus: This oh-so-adorable little guy was found abandoned in the middle of nowhere on the side of a road - skin and bones, he probably would not have survived the night if he hadn't been rescued. Now in the care of his experienced foster, he is filling out, gowning, learning and able to do puppy things. He LOVES toys, gets along with the other dogs in the house and is learning to respect the cats. He is a typical young puppy - he loves exploring his surroundings with his needle sharp puppy teeth, and thus learning the sound "uh-uh" when those find inappropriate things like fingers and toes. Rufus is quite smart and learning quickly, sassy enough to come back for confirmation of things he really likes to chew on.

As he was malnourished when found and still very young, we don't have an exact estimate of how large he will get, his next weigh in will give us more information, but he will likely be medium to large.

Rufus is looking for a home with another dog for him to play with - similar size or bigger would probably be best, older kids would be ok, as he's still learning to reign in the needle sharp teeth and will dart out a door if its left open. As he's too young to "hold it" during a regular working day, someone home a lot is required so he learns housetraining quickly.

Rufus has received is first and second set of vaccines and can be adopted under a puppy contract, where he can go to his new home, but stays under the rescue's care until after all vaccines are done and he is neutered.

***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application on our website (http://www.twyla.org/adopt/our-adoption-process) so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet (as listed on our website: (http://www.twyla.org/upcoming-events), as not all dogs attend all Meet and Greets***
