UPDATE: THE RSPCA HAVE TOLD US THAT RUFUS HAS BEEN RESERVED BY A POTENTIAL NEW OWNER AND WILL HOPEFULLY BE GOING TO HIS NEW HOME SOON.

Rufus was found wandering near Preston in Lancashire. He is currently in the care of the RSPCA, Preston.
Rufus is around five years old and had been neutered. A suitable home would ideally be with someone who has experience with dogs, but probably no other dogs currently and no children under the age of 15.

If you think you can offer Rufus a permanent caring home and provide him with the love and attention he will need in order to become trusting and secure again, please contact the RSPC Preston on 01772 792553, or visit the homeless dogs page on their web site at:

And please, before you make any enquiries, remember that a dog is for life - not just for Christmas.
