🇬🇧🐾 RUFUS NEEDS A DEDICATED HOME OR FOSTER 🐾
💙🐶 RUFUS – A Beautiful Soul Looking for Safety and Patience 🐶💙
🌟 RBU, post-adoption support, and 4 weeks free insurance provided
🇬🇧 In kennels, Spalding, Peterborough
🐶 RUFUS is a 2 1/2 years old, medium - large sized boy. This bright, loyal dog is affectionate, loving, and wants nothing more than to bond with someone kind and consistent. But he’s also had a tough past. He likely lived a life of guarding and survival. His soul is soft, but his early experiences taught him to be alert, protective, and at times defensive. He needs an experienced, preferably adult-only home, ideally in the countryside or a quiet area, where he can settle without overstimulation and continue his journey of healing.
🌟 Highlights
🔹 SIZE: Medium (53 cm / 20 kg)
🔹 NEUTERED: Yes
🔹 CHARACTER HIGHLIGHTS: Loyal, affectionate at home, sensitive, protective
🔹 DOGS: No – can be reactive to dogs
🔹 CATS: No – chases
🔹 CHILDREN: Not suitable with younger kids– reacts to running/jumping and sudden movements, especially if he is sleeping
🔹 LEFT ALONE: Cries when you leave, but settles and can easily be left alone for up to 3 hours.
💔 Rescue Story
🐶 Rufus’ rescue story began in the most unusual and moving way: he jumped into a stranger’s open car and sat down like he’d found where he was meant to be. He was tired, thin, and clearly searching for someone to trust. That was the beginning of his journey to safety—but it’s not the end of his story. He still needs the right person to help him feel safe, loved, and understood for the rest of his life.
🐶 Previous Foster Assessment – Honest, Loving, Rufus is wonderful in the home—he’s house-trained, knows where his food and drink are, doesn’t take food from the plate, and only tried the counter once! He is affectionate, craves strokes and cuddles, and gets truly joyful when you return home.
⚠️ Rufus struggles with anxiety, especially outside and around sudden movements or strangers. He has shown reactivity when startled by running, loud voices, or unpredicted gestures. He does not tolerate young children and must not be placed in a home with kids. He is wary of men, though with calm, slow introductions he quickly learn to trust. Rufus reacts to dogs, cats, runners, bikes, scooters, and even strangers walking too close. He is best walked in quiet areas and would do beautifully in a rural, low-traffic environment where he isn’t constantly overwhelmed.
🏡 Ideal Home
🐶 RUFUS needs a quiet, adult-only home with no children, no cats, and no other dogs. He would do best in a rural or countryside location, with safe walking areas where he won’t be overstimulated. A home with a secure garden, time for routine walks, and an experienced handler who understands guarding or reactive breeds would be IDEAL. This boy is ready to give his heart to the person who will help him feel safe and teach him that the world is not a threat. Rufus is not an immediately “easy” dog—but he is a real and rewarding companion. If you are looking to help a dog who has had a hard start but still has so much love inside, Rufus is worth it. He needs someone to show him that his job now is not to protect but to be protected.
🐶 RUFUS is loving, smart, and gentle with those he trusts—and with time, trust can grow. Let’s help this beautiful boy find the peaceful corner of the world where he can truly belong.
