My Story

Rufus, a 4-year-old Leonberger weighing 120 pounds, was discovered as a stray by a local Animal Control Officer (ACO). That fateful day marked the beginning of his transformation into a member of the Big Fluffy family!

Rufus reigns as the undisputed Sloth King, and his royal demands are simple: a cushy bed, someone home more often than not, a secure fenced yard, tasty snacks, and a tranquil household – not necessarily in that order. Rufus is an ideal companion for families seeking a canine friend without the energy of an active dog. His day is primarily spent in peaceful slumber, interrupted only by leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. Rufus, while charming, tends to be a bit apprehensive in bustling households, making him most content in a quiet environment, preferably without young children.

Rufus experiences seizures that are presently managed but require ongoing monitoring for the rest of his life. Due to these seizures, he is on medication, which unfortunately may lead to instances of involuntary urination in the house.
