My personality

My story

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

Rufus is a young lad with a lot of enthusiasm for life! He is friendly with people, though sometimes he gets a tad nervous on the first meeting. After that, he’s happy to get outside and walk with you. He’s a polite leash walker and does not react to other dogs, but he still has plenty of puppy energy. He also likes to keep moving. Rufus likes to chase balls but isn’t really sure what to do with them once he catches up to them. He loves human affection and will seek it out from anyone, once he’s out walking around. Rufus is a very good-natured guy who is sure to please just about any family. He’d love to continue his training in his forever home as soon as possible.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

$125 for dogs and $100 for cats, includes spaying or neutering, rabies vaccination, and microchip.

THE BACS 60/6/60 PLAN If you’re sixty or over, and you adopt an animal who is 6 or over, you’ll get a 60% discount on the adoption fee.

You must be at least 21 years old to adopt a pet. We ask that everyone in the household come to meet the pet and we require proof that you can have a pet where you live. This can be a copy of a lease indicating that you may have a cat or dog, or any document indicating home ownership such as a mortgage statement.

There is a simple adoption application to complete which will help us advise and prepare you for your new pet. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog(s) already, we ask that you bring them to meet the dog you would like to adopt. We offer home adoption counseling visits for any of our dogs and may require it for some dogs.

In the event that more than one interested party wants to adopt an animal on the morning it becomes available, we enter the names of qualified adopters into a random drawing.

All cats and dogs adopted from the shelter will be neutered or spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before going home as your new pet. If the animal is spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, it can leave the same day. If the animal is not yet spayed or neutered, you can pick up your new pet the day after surgery.
