Story
Rufus - Doberman/German Pinscher - Male - 4 months - www.twyla.org
If you'd like to know more about this dog please visit our website at www.Twyla.org
Meet Rufus: This oh-so-adorable little guy was found abandoned in the middle of nowhere on the side of a road - skin and bones, he probably would not have survived the night if he hadn't been rescued. Now in the care of his experienced foster, he is filling out, gowning, learning and able to do puppy things. He LOVES toys, gets along with the other dogs in the house and is learning to respect the cats. He is a typical young puppy - he loves exploring his surroundings with his needle sharp puppy teeth, and thus learning the sound "uh-uh" when those find inappropriate things like fingers and toes. Rufus is quite smart and learning quickly, sassy enough to come back for confirmation of things he really likes to chew on.
Rufus is now 4 months old and 21 lbs, so we estimate his full size to be about 40-45 lbs, so much smaller than a Doberman, he's more like a German Pinscher mix.
Rufus is looking for a home with another dog for him to play with - similar size or bigger would probably be best, older kids would be ok, as he's still learning to reign in the needle sharp teeth and will dart out a door if its left open. As he's too young to "hold it" during a regular working day, someone home a lot is required so he learns housetraining quickly.
Rufus has received his 3 se3ts of puppy vaccines and his Rabies vaccine and can be adopted under a puppy contract, where he can go to his new home, but stays under the rescue's care until after he is neutered, which is scheduled early December when he'll be 6 months old.
***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application on our website (http://www.twyla.org/adopt/our-adoption-process) so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet (as listed on our website: (http://www.twyla.org/upcoming-events), as not all dogs attend all Meet and Greets***
