My story

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

**Rufus just graduated the Paws in Prison Program for where he received 8 weeks of obedience training. He was crate trained, learned manners and now knows lots of tricks. Rufus also passed his Canine Good Citizen test with flying colors!

Rufus is one happy and well behaved pup. He was adopted from us as a puppy and returned because he killed their chickens, so no chickens for him! Otherwise, he loves everything and everybody. He is good with kids and very good with other dogs. He is smart as a whip too. He will sit upon command and is housetrained. He also loves booty scratches and affection. His handlers at the prison said he likes to be right by their side, leaning against them. He loves human contact. Rufus would make a great family pet or companion for any dog lover. He is full grown at 45lbs and is a year old old.

If you would like more information or want to meet Rufus, please go to our website www.schspets.org to complete an adoption application and our adoption coordinator will contact you. You can also call the shelter at 870-269-5200.

More about this shelter

The Stone County Humane Society is a 501(C)(3) private organization, not a government entity that was formed in 1999. We rescue dogs and cats and are a no-kill shelter but we are not an open take in facility. We are currently operating from our new shelter building recently completed in August 2016 and a cat cottage. Our organization is managed by a volunteer board of 10 individuals and a full-time paid employee shelter manager that handles the day to day operations, and three part-time paid employees that feed and care for the animals and keep the facility clean. Most of our daily operations are funded by proceeds from a Second Chance Shop in town and donations from individuals. We also provide low cost spay/neuter clinics to the people of our county with help from a local vet.
