 Rufus D4532 (was Tater)

Rufus D4532 (was Tater)

2/17/23:  Sweet Rufus (previously Tater) was adopted but not working out.  Rufus wants to shadow his owner.  He favors men and unfortunately, his male owner does not like the shadowing.  Rufus is a sweet, sweet dog who is a love bug and loves to cuddle and is a lap dog when resting.  He is active to play fetch and best to have a active dog buddy at home. 

2/18/23:  From Current Home:  Little Rufus is a sweet, sweet little boy! Like many women and men, Rufus is looking for that special man to share his life with and give and receive your love.  Rufus prefers men to women and will shadow him.  Rufus also enjoys time spent with his Mom, but clearly his favorite is Dad.  This is a case where the match just wasn't right for little Rufus.  We are looking for a male owner who doesn't mind having the love, adoration, and friendship of a smart, sweet, lovable dog.  

Rufus is an active pup who loves to initiate play with dogs and humans alike. Rufus' favorite past time is any acitivity, esp with his man!  He loves snuggling with you on your lap or next to you. Rufus had separation anxiety when we first got him, and is now doing great, he may cry a bit at first and then will settle.  While Rufus is friendly and playful to dogs, he sometimes does the "Stranger Danger" barking while on walks.  Once introduced he is fine.  If you're looking for a loyal bestfriend, Rufus is your dog.  Someone will be very lucky to have this absolutely lovable little guy.

----------------------------

Below is all from when we first rescued him:

Tater was rescued on Thanksgiving Day. At the shelter he was a little nervous, but once out, he warms up, then sweet and very lovable. He is untrained but easy on leash and learning everything. He is great with other dogs. Tater loves attention and snuggling. Need many trips to back yard for house-training. In his past, he may have been crated too long. More info and new photo to come as he learns at his foster home.

Foster Home Update: Adorable Tater is doing great and learning at his foster home. He is dog social and loves everybody once he meets them. Foster home has holiday guests (men/women) and he loves all the visitors, especially the men. He does do a little stranger danger on walks and learning to see other people and not react. Cuddly and affectionate.  He needs an experienced guardian wih someone home more or WFH. Tater wants to be with his people and will bark or howl left alone. He loves and attached to the foster home's husband. He is fine sleeping in bedroom in crate.  No cats, will chase. Need backyard for quick potty biz. House-training in progress. He is a picky eater but he loves the home made fresh foods, Weruva can chicken/pumpkin/rice mixed with Stella & Chewy raw coated kibble.
