My personality

My story

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

Meet Rufus!
6-Month-Old Husky Mix (born 4/10/240) | Adventurous, Affectionate, & Full of Personality

Rufus and Boston (brother) are two playful, affectionate 6-month-old Husky mix brothers looking for a forever home. These pups came from a loving environment where they’ve been well-cared for and are now ready to bring joy and adventure into a new family’s life!

About the Boys:

Crate Trained: Both Rufus and Boston are quiet and calm when crated for 4-5 hours during the day and 7-8 hours at night.
Leash Walkers: They enjoy daily walks and are calm when meeting new people or dogs. They’ve even been out to places like Tractor Supply and handled it like pros!
Housetrained: They’re reliable when it comes to potty breaks—whether on or off the leash—and they’ll let you know when it’s time to go out.
Social & Friendly: These boys love people of all ages, including children, and enjoy the company of other dogs and even cats. They’ve been raised in a home with an elderly lady and are respectful and gentle with everyone.
Car Rides & Water Fun: Whether it's a calm car ride where they enjoy looking out the window or a splash in the kiddie pool, Rufus and Boston are up for any adventure.
Training: Boston already knows how to sit, and Rufus is catching up! They’re both eager learners, especially when there are treats involved.
Personalities:

Rufus Reese: Playful, curious, and learning fast, Rufus is always ready for some fun.
Boston Lee: Boston is a bit more snuggly and loves affection. He’s already mastered the “sit” command and can’t wait to show you how clever he is.
Both are food-motivated, confident, communicative, and have a goofy side that will keep you entertained. Loud noises don’t phase them—they’ll just check it out and go back to whatever they were doing.

If you’re looking for ONE or TWO adventurous, loving companions who are ready for anything, Rufus and/or Boston might be the perfect match for you!

Foster to adopt is a great way to see if Rufus is the perfect fit! Adoption fee includes neuter.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are foster based so there isn't one specific facility to visit our adoptables. Occasionally we have adoption events at Tractor Supply, 13641 Hwy 110, Tyler, TX 75703.

The fosters / volunteers are happy to facilitate meet and greets for potential adopters.
