About This Dog for Adoption

Rufus's ideal home

Rufus is a very handsome 2 year old Dogue de Bordeaux cross with a wonderfully soft and gentle nature. He’s been friendly with everyone he’s met so far and has a calm, affectionate way about him that makes him very easy to love. This sweet boy enjoys attention and cuddles but Rufus has sometimes found the kennel environment a little stressful and when he has been feeling worried he has been known to freeze and needing some encouragement to start moving again but we feel like this may be kennel based and once he is settled in a home he will thrive. Once comfortable, Rufus can be left for around 1-4 hours and he could live with older primary school children. Rufus would like to live in a cat-free household and a home where he is the only dog but he can have doggy friends to socialise and go on walks with. Rufus would benefit from his own private garden but he could also use a communal garden.

Could you be Rufus's perfect match?

Rufus is a gentle giant who would like a patient home that will happily take things at his pace! He could benefit from some further dog socialisation training around other dogs just so he can build up his confidence as well as helping him become fully house trained. Rufus has short term medical needs and support for this will be discussed with any potential adopters. With the right support, he’ll make a loyal, affectionate companion who will definitely bring you lots of happiness with lots of love.

Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

  • Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
  • Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
  • Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
  • Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
  • If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
