Rufus is generally a fun loving boy who LOVES his toys, he enjoys an afternoon of laying on the couch and emptying the toy box!
Rufus MUST go to a home with a secure privacy fence. he wouldn't mind a dog sibling as long as he had plenty of supervised time to get to know them. Currently his best friend is his foster cat brother, they spend their time laying on the couch together.
Rufus will need slow intros to any dog he meets. He has done very well with his foster sisters after getting to know them.
Kids on bikes and running around tend to scare Rufus so he would do best with older teenage kids that are dog savvy.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
