Rufus - Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Holly Springs, Mississippi

Rufus is one of the seven puppies who were dumped and left to fend for themselves. He is a very sweet boy who is still learning to trust people and feel safe.

Rufus loves chasing after a ball, although he hasn’t quite figured out that he’s supposed to bring it back yet! He can be standoffish at first, so you may need to catch him before you can pet him. But once you begin, Rufus settles down and enjoys the attention—he’s still a little scared, but his sweet personality shines through.he is leash, crate and house trained as well.

One of Rufus’s favorite places to relax is the swimming pool. He would love a patient, loving family who will give him the time and reassurance he needs to blossom into a confident companion.
