My story

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


Rufus is a mix of 4 breeds (dna test) Boxer, Dane, Staffie, and Pittie. He is goofy, energetic, playful, smart and naughty. He should be in a home with a family who is experienced with these guard dog breeds as he displays the traits of all 4. He loves to run around and jump on the trampoline. He walks well on a leash. He needs more room than we have to offer. He needs more attention than my family has time to offer. My children found him as an emaciated 5 week puppy on their school playground. We nursed him back to health, house trained him, vetted with shots and microchipped. He has been to obedience school and knows basic commands (off, sit, stay, let’s go, down, and place). He has traveled with us and is good in the car. He has some quirks, he likes to destroy socks and rip towels to shreds. He doesn’t like it when people are carrying other people (piggy back) he will bark and jump. He is also slightly reactive when on a leash. ❤️
