7/24*******UPDATE********* Wonderful news! Rufus was pulled today by a local rescue Waggy Butts & Happy Mutts, INC., and we cannot thank everyone enough for sharing his story. We had so many people contact us who wanted to adopt him!
Rufus's journey doesn't end here, though. He will now need a special foster home that understands the unique needs of senior dogs. If you or someone you know has the time and patience to provide Rufus with the care and love he deserves, please reach out to Waggy Butts & Happy Mutts, INC.
Rescuing a senior pup can get pretty expensive, but we truly believe Rufus is worth every penny. He's the most loving, gentle boy and we are so grateful to the rescue that pulled him.
If you're able, please consider donating to his care. Contact Waggy Butts & Happy Mutts.
Rufus is 14 and most likely a hospice dog, due to age and medical.
*UPDATE* Tuesday 7/23 Thank you everyone, The offers to help Rufus is amazing! At this time we are waiting for dog/cat test. Rufus did live with other dogs. This does not mean he will be good with all dogs. The shelter he is located at is short staffed and crowded. A dog test is on the list of requests at this time. More then likely will have results by Wednesday
If you are interested in Rufus we suggest going to the shelter to meet him. He is one of 100’s of animals the shelter is caring for. The employees at the shelter are doing the best they can to keep up with the influx of animals. We appreciate everyone’s patience.
Update***We understand people are asking for dog/cat test. As it is important moving forward with placement. A possible dog/cat test will be done as soon as shelter staff is available.
Rufus is located in Atlantic County, NJ.
It breaks our heart to see sweet Rufus, a 14-year-old Labrador, in the shelter after his owner sadly passed away. This senior pup has some lumps and bumps, but the kind staff are making sure he’s comfortable on a thick bed, showering him with love.
Rufus deserves to spend his golden years in a loving home, surrounded by warmth and care. If you are a rescue or have room in your heart and home, please consider opening it up to this gentle senior.
Even if you can’t adopt him yourself, sharing his story could make all the difference. With a little help, we know we can find this special boy a rescue he needs to give him the care he needs.
Every share counts!
