Rufio is an old english bulldog, is 3yo, weighs 91lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped. Rufio is alone about 6 hours each day and is kept in his crate. At night, he sleeps in his bed in the bedroom. He needs to be restrained in the car or else he will climb all around. He currently eats Royal Canin Ultamino.

Rufio's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:

"He is very sweet but he was not well trained or socialized. He is too large and strong for me to keep under control and he has been injuring me when he plays or gets too excited. He needs an owner who is better able to handle him and a larger house."

Rufio's guardian offers a brief a medical history:

"He has significant allergies that he is currently seeing a dermatologist for. He is on an elimination diet and medication."

Rufio's guardian states the following regarding children: Rufio hasn't lived with children, but his guardian recommends his living with children ages 12 and older, stating "Rufio is very large and strong and jumps on people. He should not live with children under 12".

Rufio's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Rufio hasn't lived with dogs, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "Rufio is not socialized around other dogs. He is not aggressive but he comes on way too strong and escalates play quickly which scares other dogs".

Rufio's guardian states the following regarding cats: Rufio lives with a cat, so his guardian recommends his living with cats, stating "He mostly ignores my cat and doesn't chase her".

Rufio's guardian describes him as:

Quiet
Playful
Friendly
Likes to be touched
Affectionate
Always at your side
Indoor Only Pet
House-Trained
Crate-Trained
Likes women and men (takes a bit to warm up to men since he's priimarily exposed to women)

Rufio's guardian describes his ideal future home:

"Rufio needs a larger house preferably with a fenced yard to exercise in. Ideally, his new owners would be strong enough to handle him physically."
