About Rufus
Rufus is a charming Kelpie with a big personality and an even bigger love for toys. He's beginning a weight-loss journey and is looking for a supportive home ready to help him feel his best. This sensitive boy shows affection through playtime rather than pats and will often bring toys to invite a game. Toys are his absolute favourite, and while he can get a little fixated, ongoing training around calm play and impulse control will help him succeed.
Rufus isn't comfortable around other dogs and will thrive best as the only pet in a calm, predictable adult or teen home. With patience, consistency, and the right guidance, Rufus has all the potential to become a happy, confident companion.
