NEW HAVEN (WTNH) — This week’s Pet of the Week is Rufus.

This American pit bull terrier is looking for a new home.
The 2-year-old pup loves to sit and lie down for treats.
He can even do a special treat where he lifts his left ear on command.
Rufus is up for adoption at the Friends of New Haven Animal Shelter. Those interested in giving him a furever home can call (203) 946-8110.
