My personality

My story

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

Rufus is a 1.5-year-old English Pointer and German Shorthaired Pointer mix who’s spent his entire life in an apartment. He’s never had the chance to explore wide-open spaces or experience the joy of the outdoors. But Rufus is ready for a fresh start—a life filled with love, adventure, and the confidence to embrace the world.
While Rufus is playful and eager to learn, his strong prey drive means he needs a home with no cats or small dogs. He’s looking for a family who will help him build confidence and guide him toward his best self. With patience and support, Rufus will become a loyal and loving companion who’s ready to take on life’s adventures by your side.

We put a lot of work, time, care and love into each one of these dogs. They are treated like one of our own. We are open and transparent about the dogs in our care.
