Rufus, also known as Tiny, is more than 105 pounds and is gaining weight at the Franklin County Sheriff's Office Regional Dog Shelter. Rufus was an unclaimed stray who is social and friendly, but very strong. Rufus should not live with cats or small dogs. He may be best as the only dog in the house. Due to his size, he should also not live with young children as he can be pushy and jumpy. If you are used to handling very large dogs and want to know more about Rufus, call the shelter at 413-676-9182. Credit: CONTRIBUTED
