Rufus is a perfect workout buddy with good energy and a goofy face. This black and white American Bulldog and Staffordshire Terrier mix is looking for a good home – hopefully with an abundance of tennis balls and humans willing to throw them.
According to Broward County Animal Care, Rufus is four-years-old and weighs 70 pounds. He has been at the shelter since April.
Rufus is adventurous, strong, and energetic and will happily go on a hike or a mile-long run or play fetch for hours. However, as much as he likes to play, this pup enjoys winding down with naps — and is a great cuddler.
Rufus needs a family that enjoys the outdoors and an active lifestyle and has the energy to run around with this gorgeous dog to his heart’s content.
