About Rufus

We have a great dane/border collie mix that we are looking to rehome. He is a very friendly and social dog, but he as developed some anxiety issues as he's gotten older, specifically due to loud noises. We unfortunately live in a very loud neighborhood right next to a hospital. We hear loud trucks and sirens all day long, and he is in a constant state of stress. Our property is not fenced, and he has also taken to running off when he is outside and hears a loud noise. He is a great dog, and he needs a quiet, calm home where he can live stress free. Due to our work schedules, we are not always available to give him the attention he needs. He is about 8 years old, he weighs about 135lbs, and he is tall. He has all of his current shots and vaccines, and is microchipped. People often mistake him for a newfoundland, as he is about the same size and does look similar. He does not shed very much, and tends to get a longer coat in winter. We like to give him a good trim in the spring so he stays cool through the summer. He is a very friendly dog - he has grown up around children and cats and loves both, he is great with other dogs, and he is very social with people. He will lay right next to you (or on you!) all day long if you let him. He is very spritely for his age, but due to his size he tires out very quickly. He loves a good walk, or a ball to chase. We very much want to find the right home for him, and are happy to meet at a park nearby for introductions. We are asking for a rehoming fee of $300. Our timing can be flexible for meet ups, please dont hesitate to reach out with any questions.
