About Rufus
Hi I’m Rufus, I am a distinguish 8 year and 6 month old French Bulldog
I am a awesome guard dog for the home - I will let absolutely everyone in as long as they pay the toll - a pat and a hello!
My foster mum says I'm an awesome cuddle buddy who will respect your boundaries when your busy around the house but I do like to be in the same room as you.
I am happy to chill out when you leave for the day but be warned I do the frenchie hello when you come home - I can do a bum wiggle with the best of them!
I do have to tell you that I am looking for a home with no other dogs - I am not a fan of living with other dogs. I also have been know to try and turn into a Great Dane when walking and I see another dog - on going reactivity training should help. Even thought I am 8 years old I have been known to sometimes try and take my foster mum for a walk so she has to gently remind me that its her walking me not the other way around oops
As a typical French Bulldog I do have great manners and I do know how to sit and wait but my foster mum says it seems to work a lot better when I have a treat.
My foster mum also said that I am a champion at snoring, snorting, snuffling, and flatulence (gassiness) which just makes you fall in love with me even more - how could you not?
I am not tested with cats (my mum asked the neighbors if we could try but they said no)
Kids - I like kids I currenlty live with a few - I am fine with them or fine without having them at my new home. I have been known to happily say hello, play ball for a few minutes and then trot off to my bed for a rest. There is also a baby at the house - i do like to sniff them from time to time and then I keep on my merry way.
My foster mum also said while I don't dig I do like to do the frenchie foot stomp and dirt kicking at the fence if there is a dog next door - I tell them I'm boss and then usually on my way!
I also happy play with toys that have been given too me - I don't destroy anything.
I am house trained however I sometimes has an accident inside at night if you haven't taken me to the toilet before bed time.
I am looking for a home where I can live out my golden years and get lots of love and cuddles - is that you?

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $100) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
