Rufus is a one-of-a-kind pup with a unique and endearing look that’s as special as his story. After being rescued, Rufus underwent surgery at a previous shelter to close his cleft palate. While his lip didn’t fully heal (purely cosmetic), his palate is now fully closed, and he’s all healed up and ready to find his forever home! His distinctive features make him even more special, and his heart is just as unique.
Personality: Rufus is a big lover who thrives on cuddles, playtime, and outdoor adventures. When it comes to meeting new dogs, Rufus can be a bit standoffish. He’s picky about who he wants to be friends with and may need some time to warm up to other canines. But once he finds a dog he likes, he’s all in! Rufus is also highly food-motivated and loves to ask for treats from everyone he meets.
Ideal Home: Rufus would do best in a home where he can get plenty of love, attention, and patience. His perfect family will understand that he may need time to warm up to other dogs, but with the right introductions, he’s sure to thrive. He’s looking for a calm, supportive home where he can feel safe and loved. Health: Rufus has had surgery to close his cleft palate, and while his lip didn’t fully heal, that’s purely cosmetic. His palate is now fully closed, and he’s doing great! He’s a healthy, happy boy ready to start the next chapter of his life with a family who appreciates his one-of-a-kind charm.
