Meet Bates (lovingly also called Rufus), a big, lovable guy with a personality as large as his heart! This gentle giant is ready to bring joy and fun to his next adventure.
Bates loves car rides and hops in and out with ease. He enjoys walks and is learning to perfect his leash skills. He's calm when encountering other dogs, whether they're out on walks or behind a fence, and he's always up for exploring new surroundings.
Fetch is one of his favorite games, especially with a ball. Bates also enjoys playing with canine friends. He thrives with canine companions who appreciate his playful energy and size.
At home, he's affectionate, often curling up next to you at night for some quiet companionship.
Bates prefers a cat-free environment and would do well with people and dogs who enjoy an active, fun-loving companion. He has a unique talent for howling along with you, so get ready for some duets!
If you're looking for a playful, loyal, and easygoing dog, Bates is ready to meet you. ??
