My personality

My story

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

Hi I'm Rufus. It's hard to find the right words to describe myself. I guess Clifford the big red dog from the children's books describes me best. In short, I'm big, goofy and have a gigantic heart. I was found as a stray, but sadly, no one is missing me, no one is looking for me, and no one has taken me home. I can't see myself asking for much. You don't have to spoil me, although if you want to, do what you must. I don't mind. In my new life I see myself taking my human(s) out for walks, greeting you happily at the door and sharing life's adventures with you. The best day will be when I meet you for the first time and know that I am home.
