Rufus

Bonded Pair

Meet Rufus, our favorite naked mole rat, who was recently transferred from Fresno!

As you can see, Rufus is currently sporting some hair loss, however, with time, he is anticipated to grow back a full coat – just in time for winter!

Though this Rufus doesn’t come with Kim Possible or Ron Stoppable, we know that he’ll have no trouble making friends. Rufus loves people, almost as much as he loves fetch. He’s currently working on his manners and keeping all four paws on the floor when greeting new friends.

Looking for a loyal and brave sidekick? Rufus could be your guy!

How to Adopt Rufus

Our adoption process focuses on bringing people and animals together. Adoption counselors are on site to answer questions and help connect you with your new best friend.

We offer same-day adoptions, meaning if you meet all the adoption requirements, you can leave with your newly adopted animal that same day. Get started by viewing our available cats and dogs.
