We've posted for Rubble in the Fall, but now he's READY for adoption!!
Meet Rubble!
Rubble is a two-year-old English bulldog who found himself as a local stray when his owner did not claim him. For the past seven months, he's been in a foster home, decompressing and learning how to be a good boy.
There are two types of English bulldogs: Chonks and Crackheads. Rubble falls into the latter. He requires mental and physical enrichment, or he will morph into a T-Rex and try to eat his way through anything that looks like it might be a "sweet treat."
When Rubble came to us, he was a ball of anxiety and had no dog-to-dog communication skills. He did not stop barking when left alone and he would stare down or hump our resident dog. This went on for six weeks. Since then, Rubble has learned better dog-on-dog communication and behavior skills, but he will still try to hump our resident dog. (He also tends to hump new people who come into the home.) Ultimately, he would do best in a home without other dogs because he just wants all your love and attention! At the end of the day, he truly is more interested in people than other dogs.
An ideal home would include someone who works from home or tends to be home often. Rubble cannot be crated. He has some scarring that is congruent with a crate escape from his past life. While he does enjoy occasionally sleeping or relaxing in a crate, he does not like the door to be closed. When we leave the house, he does well in a Rubble-proof room where he cannot get into any mischief.
Rubble LOVES to chew, but he did recently have four teeth removed, so we must be selective about his chews. Nothing too hard! When he came to us, he didn't know how to play with toys, but he's since gutted a handful of stuffies and enjoys playing tug-of-war.
Finally, Rubble would do best in a home without small children. If he gets into something he's not supposed to have (dirty laundry, garbage, recycling, food, etc.), he will growl and snap when you try to remove it. That said, he is highly treat motivated and will exchange the item. For safety reasons, we do not want tiny hands trying to grab a high-value item from him. Other "sweet treats" include plants. If you are a plant lover, Rubble is not for you.
Rubble has face card that doesn't decline and he loves to snuggle into you at night (if you allow him to sleep in bed). We know he will bring a ton of joy to the right person or family. We know a LOT of people will be interested in him, but as always, we are committed to finding the right fit so everyone is happy and healthy.
If you think that Rubble would be a good fit for your home, please let us know...
