Blocky headed cutie pie - meet Rufus! A fun loving boy looking forward to settling down after this transitional period of his life. Rufus enjoys playing with toys, he's often sitting at the front of his kennel tossing one to himself, going on long walks and hikes to pick out the perfect souvenir stick, and opportunities for casual recreation with other dogs! Once settled down and comfortable in his routine, Rufus is likely to be a couch potato after a long day of fun, with a stuffed animal of his choice to accompany him and his new family for a movie night!
Rufus has come a long way since he first arrived at Foothills as a stray and has become a favorite of our volunteer walkers. Rufus loves exploring the world through his nose and perhaps may benefit from scent games that will keep his mind engaged by playing "find it" with toys and treats. When volunteers take him into one of the play yards, they better have a good supply of tennis balls because he LOVES a good game of fetch! During the winter Rufus enjoys digging through snow, and would likely enjoy helping uncover backyard pathways with his new family!
Rufus will only be rehomed to a family with children 10 years of age and older and is recommended for a home without other dogs at this time. Meet with him today! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 73.2 Age: 2yrs 3mths 3wks

Adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter and first vaccines, medical exam, and microchip.
How to Adopt from Foothills Animal Shelter:
Visit the Shelter or one of our offsite adoption partner locations to find a pet. Once you’ve decided on an animal, you should check with staff to see the status and history of the animal. At this time, you can fill out an adoption application and visit with the animal.
We recommend you bring all family members to the Shelter to meet with the animal before you consider adopting. If you are interested in adopting a dog, bring any household dogs to the Shelter to determine if it is a good match. Also, if you rent your home, please bring the pet policy in your lease or rental agreement and contact information for your landlord.
Once your application is reviewed, you can pay the adoption fees and take your new pet home. It may take some time for your new pet to adjust to its new environment. If you have questions or concerns after adopting, please contact us at 303-278-7575.
