About Rufus

Shih Tzu / Maltese
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

What to say about sweet Rufus? Plenty! Let's start with his adorable underbite that melts hearts at first glance. Rufus is incredibly dog-friendly and will even wrestle with other dogs if they're up for the challenge. For a 9-year-old, he's got a surprising amount of energy for playtime, yet he can also be the sleepy, sweet grandpa type. Rufus loves playing fetch with toys and will proudly bring them back to your feet, tail wagging the entire time. He can often be seen throwing his toys in the air and rubbing his face on the floor, always bringing a smile to your face. On walks, he strides confidently ahead, rain or shine, with his tail wagging happily behind him. Rufus enjoys sitting beside people for gentle head rubs, but be patient-sometimes the world feels a bit overwhelming for him. A good treat and some head scritches quickly soothe his nerves. Rufus can be a little grumpy during grooming, especially when it comes to touching his sensitive paws, but it's just another quirky part of his charm. Whoever adopts this lovable, grumpy goblin will be rewarded with an adorable ball of fluff.
