Rufus is a big handsome boy at 40kg, and has a heart to match. He has a friendly nature, is smart with a cheeky streak, and just wants to stick by his humans whatever they are doing. He sleeps quietly all night in his bed and is toilet trained. Rufus is fostered on a family property with teenage kids and a female dog. He loves to play with his doggy friend although his play can get quite boisterous if unchecked, so he's probably best suited to living with a female dog of a similar age and size. He's untested with cats.
Rufus knows basic commands like sit and to wait for his dinner. He loves his toys! He is pretty good on the lead: recall can be a bit hit and miss but some training with food rewards will likely help. He travels well in the car. He can be a little timid with new people and places, so does need to expand his social life and get out and about regularly so that he becomes more relaxed. He is such a lovely doggo and just loves his people. He'd absolutely love a place where he could keep his family company.
lf you think this sweet boy would suit your home, please follow the instructions above to apply.
