About Rubble & Billy
š¾ Double the Love: Meet Two Little Legends š¾
Hi there⦠weāre Rubble and Billy ā best mates, housemates, and if we have our way, forever-home-mates too.
We were both born on 1 January 2025, which makes us New Yearās boys ā fresh starts are kind of our thing. We came from the same home and somehow found ourselves in the pound, which was a bit confusing⦠but thankfully, the lovely people at Southern Downs ARK made sure we didnāt have to face the world alone.
Now weāre safe, happy and ready to find a home ā ideally together, because honestly, lifeās just better that way.
š¶ Iām Rubble
Iām the slightly fluffier one ā a tricolour Tibetan Spaniel mix, weighing in at a very cuddly 8.5kgs.
Tibetan Spaniels were bred as companion dogs in monasteries high in the Himalayas ā basically professional best friends ā and I take that role very seriously. Iām affectionate, loyal, and always nearby (preferably on your bed, if thatās okay with you).
As for the āmixā part⦠your guess is as good as mine. I've heard everything from āa bit of thisā to āa dash of thatā ā but whatever the recipe, the result is pretty delightful, even if I do say so myself.
š¶ And Iām Billy
Iām the handsome sable Aussie Terrier, a neat little 7.8kgs of charm and character.
Australian Terriers are known for being bright, spirited, and devoted little companions ā and I tick all those boxes. Iām curious, friendly, and always up for whateverās going on⦠as long as I get some cuddles afterwards.
š¾ What weāre like together
Weāre:
⨠Sweet-natured and affectionate
⨠Great with other dogs
⨠Good with kids
⨠Fine with cats
⨠House-trained (weāre very proud of that)
⨠Big fans of couch time and bedtime snuggles
Weāre active enough to enjoy a walk and a play, but weāre not over the top ā weāre really just lovely little dogs who want to be part of your life.
š Why weād love to stay together - our pitch to you!
We know each other, we trust each other, and we make each other feel safe.
You could adopt just one of us⦠but we think youād be missing out.
Two small dogs = twice the love, twice the joy, and honestly, not twice the work.
Our foster mum says weāre just gorgeous ā and we think she might be right.
If youāre looking for a ready-made little duo who will bring warmth, companionship and plenty of cuddles into your home, weāre your boys. š
