Hi, I’m Rufus.
|
I’m a happy, easygoing Tibetan, living in Californa. Though I’m ten years old, people often mistake me for a puppy because my fur is still really soft, and I bounce around a lot when I’m feeling good. I weigh about thirty three pounds. I love it when you come home, but I won’t jump on you, I’ll just wag my tail and grab my bone to show how glad I am to see you. You can leave me on my own for very long periods of time -- I have excellent bladder control. Not only that, but I don’t have separation anxiety! However, I do need a treat before you leave.
Though I’m a little shy at first, I love people and kids. Like most Tibetans, I won’t beg for attention, but I’ll welcome you when you want to cuddle. But,whatever you do, be sure to scratch behind my ears occasionally -- that is heaven to me. (And tasty treats are really nice too.)
I don’t need a lot of exercise, but I do like my fresh air and some walks. Unless we’re in an enclosed area, you need to keep me on leash though, because if I see a squirrel or anything of interest, I will run after it. Also, I’m not a cat lover, so if your household includes cats, I’m probably not a good match for you.
Of course I am house-trained, and also neutered, and am up to date with routine shots.

I’m about 12 years old, about 17” tall and weigh 26 pounds. I was rescued from a shelter in Southern California but I’m currently fostered in Northern California.
Right after I was rescued, I spent a bunch of time at the vet for assorted problems with my ears, skin, teeth, kidneys and back, but everything is cleared up, except I need to take some medicine every day to keep my back from hurting again and the ear infections have left me deaf. I was kinda wobbly in the rear from the back thing but I’m better now and go for walks in the park in the morning for 30-40 minutes and bark at the squirrels in the trees. Now I’m only wobbly when I’m tired.
I’ve been neutered and microchipped. I’m housebroken, I walk nicely on a leash and I can use a doggie door. Although I’ve lost a lot (14) of teeth, I still like the occasional chew. My foster mom says I’m a cheerful old guy and I guess she’s right because I wag my tail a lot and try to play when I can. I really like to fish tissues out of the waste basket and tear them into pieces.
I’m just looking for a nice, comfortable home where someone will love me for a few years until it’s time for me to go.
I have my own crate, crate pad, water bucket and leash and collar. My foster mom says I need all this but I don’t know. I’m loose in the house most of the time when I’m not hunting for mice in the back yard and almost anyplace I can stretch out is good enough for me.
I am up-to-date with routine shots, house-trained and neutered.
