Seven months ago, a beloved rescue dog named Rufus went missing in the Al Mamzar area of Dubai. Since that day, his family has been tirelessly searching, never losing hope despite the long months that have passed.
Rufus’ owners have been posting regular updates on social media, expressing their profound heartache and longing for their missing family member. They’ve offered a reward of AED 5,000 for anyone who can safely return Rufus to his rightful home.
Rufus, a gray dog with a white chest and underbelly, has a distinctive diamond-shaped white pattern on the back of his neck and a slightly bent front left paw.
His microchip’s last four digits are 9525. His family has spared no effort in trying to locate him, from distributing posters to contacting local clinics and groomers, all in the hopes of reuniting with their furry companion.
In their recent post, Rufus’ family expressed the overwhelming void that his absence has left in their lives: “It’s been seven excruciating months without our boy.
The unconditional love, joy, and warmth he brought to our family is irreplaceable. We have no other option but to believe he is with someone, somewhere – whoever has him may not even know that he’s missing, and are simply taking care of him!”
Despite the time that has passed, they remain steadfast in their search and are pleading for the community’s continued support.
The family’s message is clear: “Please, please, please. I am begging you to do what you can to help us find him; to share if you can, and to call us if you find him, or see a dog that resembles him.”
