Meet Rufus 

Age: 3 years

Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier

Personality: Fun-loving, playful, affectionate, total beach boy

Good with: Dogs (every pup he meets is his new best friend!) and people

Skills: Knows sit, touch, walks nicely on leash, eager to learn more

Quirks: Thinks he’s a lap dog Rufus is your classic beach-loving, tail-wagging heartthrob!

This social butterfly is happiest when he’s surrounded by friends—whether that’s dogs, people, or both. His love language is simple: play, play, and more play. From long walks on the beach to zoomies in the yard, Rufus brings the party wherever he goes. He’s also smart and eager to please, with a great foundation in basic commands and plenty of potential to learn even more. He has a few quirks (don’t we all?), but Rufus has been thriving in his foster home, showing just how loving, loyal, and fun he can be. He’s a big-hearted guy who just wants to be your best adventure buddy—and maybe sneak into your lap when you least expect it.
