Friendly with: Dogs and older kids, not cat tested (he’s a bit shy so small children may spook him)

Favorite season: Spring and fall, likes easy and mild weather just like his personality

No vision? No problem! Rufus is a sweet and gentle dog who is doing great in his foster home. He’s learning the ropes from his canine foster siblings and adapting to a new environment quickly. Though he has no vision and limited hearing, he remains a loving and happy dog who is looking for a family of his own. Could that be you?
