Meet Rufus, a 2-year-old 22lb Cockapoo/Shih Tzu fluffy mix with smarts, sweetness, personality and serious star power.
Before he was rescued, Rufus was a little dog wandering the big streets in TX.
A fluffy, scruffy, one-big-mop-of-a-dog with a big heart.
When he was found, his fur was tangled and he was a bit of a mess.
Even then... his tail wagged.
Fast forward, and Rufus is cleaned up, safe, and adored, showing us exactly who he is: joyful, clever, affectionate. A sweet pup who wants nothing more than to love and be loved. At 22 pounds, Rufus is the perfect "pick me up" size without being fragile. He loves belly rubs more than life itself!
Rufus is great on a leash, knows "sit" and is super smart and eager to learn.
He is crate trained and house trained as long as he is kept on a schedule.
Rufus comes when called and is always trying to figure things out. He wants to be a good boy, and he learns fast because he cares.
Rufus LOVES other dogs. He runs and plays at the Rescue Ranch and loves dogs of all shapes and sizes. He will thrive with another playful dog but would also do well as an only dog with active humans.
Because Rufus is still polishing his manners and has a lot of enthusiasm for life, he is best suited for a home with no children under 10.
Rufus isn't naughty....just exuberant!
Rufus is completely vetted and ready to go to his forever home. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will be updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.
We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!
