From Second Chance Dog Rescue

Meet Rufus! Rufus is a 1–2-year-old, 17 lb. Chihuahua/Pomeranian/Dachshund mix with silky, medium-length fur and an incredibly sweet personality. Rufus arrived at the Imperial Valley Animal Shelter with two other dogs and sadly, no one came to reclaim him. Their loss is truly someone else’s gain, because Rufus is a loving, social little guy who just wants to be part of the family. He is mellow, fairly quiet, and wonderfully friendly with people, dogs, and cats. In fact, he enjoys playing with the cat in his foster home! Rufus walks well on leash, does great out in public, and is happiest simply being included in whatever his people are doing. After a day of adventures, he is perfectly content relaxing on the couch or chewing on a bone in his dog bed. Rufus is currently fostered with River, one of the dogs he was found with. While they are not bonded and do not need to be adopted together, Rufus does not do well being left completely alone. Because of this, he will need a home with another friendly, confident dog who can help him feel secure. At night, Rufus sleeps beautifully. His first choice would definitely be snuggling in bed with you, but he will also settle into his own dog…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
