pportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Brutus is a 12-year-old senior gentleman who has just joined rescue and is settling into his foster home after experiencing a big life change, his beloved owner passed away, which sadly landed Brutus at the impound through no fault of his own. While everything is still new to him, one thing is already very clear: Brutus is ready for a cozy bed, a comfy couch, and a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. Despite being a senior, Brutus still has plenty of zest for life and a nice little spark of energy in him. He enjoys moving around, being part of the action, and reminding everyone that age is truly just a number. In his foster home, Brutus is living peacefully with other dogs, cats, and children (ages 8 and 13), and he’s doing wonderfully with everyone. He isn’t phased by cats at all and has shown himself to be an easygoing, sweet companion. Brutus is incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than gently placing his big head in your lap for some love. He’s also fully potty trained, which makes him an easy addition to any home. If you’re looking for a calm, loving senior pup who will happily keep you company, while still having some pep left in his step, Brutus may be your perfect match and is so ready to be someone’s best friend Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Brutus is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
