Coonhound and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Manhasset, New York

Hi, I’m Rufus — your future best friend, co-pilot, and official pup cup taste-tester 🐶☕ I'm 5 years young • 47 lbs (currently underweight, working my way up to 55–60 lbs)

I’m a happy, social guy who loves meeting new people and making dog friends. I do great with other dogs, enjoy being out and about in public, and I’m always up for a car ride (especially if it ends with a treat… just saying).

I’d do well in a home with kids 5+ who understand how to be respectful with dogs. I’d prefer a home without cats — they’re just not really my thing.

I’m still brushing up on my house manners, but don’t let that fool you — I’m super smart and very motivated by food and praise. With a little consistency, I’m going to shine. I truly enjoy learning and will be such a fun dog to train and bond with.
✨ Dog-friendly
✨ People-loving
✨ Great in the car
✨ Social + confident in public
✨ Pup cup enthusiast

I’ve got the perfect mix of easygoing companion and playful buddy energy. Whether we’re out exploring or just hanging at home, I’m happiest being part of your world.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog who’s ready for his next chapter, I’m your guy! Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com) to get lots more info on me!
