About Rubble
Generally.
Rubble is a happy, well adjusted and playful pup. While Rubble is good with dogs and cats he is like almost every other staffy – people orientated.
Rubble is very affectionate, smoochy and enjoys down time on the couch. He is also a good jogging buddy too. He is no trouble at home and very adaptable.
Ideal home.
Homes that want a dog to be actively involved with family activities will suit Rubble. People who know staffys understand what a great family dog they can be:- playful, affectionate, loyal and great companions.
He will not suit homes where residents are very young, frail, elderly, time poor or looking for a baby sitter for their current dog who is lonely because the humans are rarely around.
Other dogs?
Yes.
Cats?
Yes. Even though he has been brought up with a cat - they like to run around the house together - homes without cats are recommended as a precaution.
Kids?
Yes. As Rubble is still young and excitable we recommend any kids be primary school aged or older and only if gentle and calm around dogs.
Size.
25 kgs.
Exercise requirements?
Rubble loves to go for a walk and prefers a harness to a lead. He is playful and moderately active. He will forgive you if you miss a day.
How is this dog on a lead?
Like most dogs Rubble starts off pulling but settles down.
How is this dog off the lead?
He tends to take off and won’t come back when called.
Escape artist?
No. Regardless, we recommend a medium to large secure and interesting yard.
Nuisance barker?
No although he may alert you if something strange is near the property.
Destructive?
He is pretty good for a young dog but may dig the odd hole if bored. He tends to stick to his chew toys.
Toilet trained?
Yes.
Tolerance to being alone.
Yes.
Likes.
To be walked, cuddled, sitting on the couch and attention.
Dislikes.
Thunder. Seems to have a intolerance to the plant, Wandering Dew.
Located Lilydale VIC 3140.

______________________________________
We strongly recommend you read the profile carefully where everything we know about the dog/s is outlined.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner(s). It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog(s).
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we offer a 2 week cooling off period but do not usually allow trials. See here for the difference https://www.dogadoption.org.au/can-my-dogs-new-owner-have-a-trial-period-before-deciding-to-adopt.html
Foster carers are also able to adopt foster dogs once approved.
