Rufus IV

The rescue’s notes on Rufus IV

6/16/2026Rufus IV is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Rufus IV! I am a handsome 1.5 year old white boxer boy that is an owner surrender due to being too high energy for the other dogs in the home. I am described as friendly, active, playful, and affectionate! I currently live with two small dogs and don't bother them much but I will take things from them if I want to and need to be fed alone because I am stingy with my food. It is uncertain if I have ever lived with a cat and if I am feline friendly. There are no kids in my home but my owner's 10 year old grandson visits every weekend and I am good with him! I am crate trained but will need assistance learning house training manners. At night I sleep on the human's bed and if they must be away, I am fine in my crate. If I am in my crate while the human is home, I will howl for about 30 minutes because I want to be where the people are! If food is left out or the trash is where I can get to it, I will help myself so food should be stored off the counter and trash cans in a closed off area. When outside I do not dig or attempt to jump kiddie gates/fences, but I am strong and have pushed a gate open. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, chewing toys, getting alot of affection, and being with the humans! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue because I am waiting to meet you!
