Meet Our February Orphan of the Month, Rufus!

Meet Rufus, a sweet and good-looking 7-year-old male Golden with a Cinderella story!

We found Rufus in a shelter, undernourished, with heartworms and a broken foot. Thanks to generous sponsors who paid for months of medical treatment and sent him to dog whisperer school, today Rufus is handsome, healthy, well behaved and a delightful companion.

He loves people, is gentle with children, likes to play but does not get boisterous. Rufus enjoys a good walk and minds his manners in the house -- no jumping and no accidents. This fall he did go to a nice family who loved him but soon discovered he couldnt get along with their other dog, particularly when it came to sharing toys. Now we know Rufus is a one-family dog who needs to live in a one-dog home!

Rufus has been through a lot and waited a long time for the right family, who will be very lucky to have him. You can meet Rufus (and other adorable orphans) at the Buckhead PetsMart during our Adoption Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.!
