Rufus
Border Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · Young (1 year) · Male · Small · Atlanta, GA
Notes from Doggie Harmony
Rufus' owner passed away. The only life he had known was his owner and their peaceful home. He's has been through some trauma and needs a little bit to come around but once he knows you, he sticks to you like glue. He bonds best to one person and needs an adult home with no chaotic kids. A canine companion for him, would be great!

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.
We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

- Contact Doggie Harmony using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
- They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
- Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Doggie Harmony, never to AdoptNearby.
