ADOPT A PET

Meet Ravishing Rufus! Rufus was rescued from a very overcrowded shelter and is oh so excited to be in a home of his very own. Rufus lived his whole life chained to a tree by a 4-foot chain but hasn’t let his past affect his loving nature. Rufus is just an exceptional dog! He is very loving and sweet and does well with the other dogs in his home, rides well in the car, sleeps quietly at night, is wonderful with children, is super loving and is simply just a stunning dog both in and out! If you are interested in meeting this gem of a dog, please fill out our online application.
