Rufus Vizsla Mix Evergreen, CO

Rufus is looking for a foster and even better a forever home! Please email eaplevergreen@eapl.com if you can foster him.

Meet Rufus, aka "Roof the Goof" - a strikingly handsome chocolate-colored dog with a sleek, low-shedding coat and captivating honey eyes. He was born on 9/29/18. Rufus is about 60 pounds, a gentle soul and tender-hearted love bug at his core. He's a very good boy who longs for daily sofa snuggle time and to shower his forever family with unconditional love and affection.

Rufus is an ideal household companion - he's perfectly housebroken, sleeps quietly through the night, and doesn't engage in any destructive behavior. He can be high-energy for 10 or 15 minutes at a time, but mostly wants to follow you around or cuddle. Rufus knows basic commands like sit, stay, and lay down, and rides well in the car. While his leash manners are usually excellent, he can get overly excited and pull if he spots a bunny or squirrel. He is dog selective, however, so he can't get his exercise in an off-leash dog park.

In his forever home, Rufus would thrive in a household with or without children, but preferably without other dogs or cats. He's an adventurous pup who would make an amazing hiking, running, or biking companion for an active family or individual. Though he may come across as a bit strong initially, Rufus quickly settles in and becomes the life of the party with his fun-loving, ham-like personality.

Rufus has undergone extensive training, and his new family can take advantage of a free session to learn the best techniques for managing his occasional overexcitement. He's loyal, loving, and ready to find his forever home. Visit
