From his foster mom:~~~~Rufus was surrendered to Atmore Animal Control because I suspect he didn’t outgrow his puppy ways..and was just a bit too playful for the owners therefore he was punished unreasonably. He is a Lab/American bull dog mix, approximately 2 1/2 years old, neutered, up to date on shots and has learned his manners in the Petsmart training program. So far he is doing well!!

This gorgeous tan and white, golden-eyed boy is a water lover, and enjoys blowing bubbles in a kiddie pool when it’s hot and enjoys walks. He is just starting to realize that all people are not out to hurt him and is learning to trust more daily. He is still timid like most dogs around anything new and strange. He is not a big fan of loud noises or bad weather, so quiet surroundings will bring out the best in him. He loves playing with his Kong toy for treats and knows to sit for his food. He is being house trained at the moment and will be best as an only dog. He gets along with other dogs but because of his high energy and size it will be best to have him as an only dog with teenaged children that can work with him on his needs. He has a high chase instinct and will probably not react well to cats even though he ignores them on a leash. He walks well on a leash and loves to please.

Rufus will need a fenced yard for exercise. He loves eating peanut butter out of his Kong toy indoors and adores his Jolly Ball; rawhide chewies and rope toys occupy him when he is indoors.
