Rubble

4 Year Old Male

English Bulldog

Fostered in Aldershot Hants

People – Rubble is an amazing lad who loves everyone he meets, he is friendly and social and adores his humans

Can I live with children - He is in foster with children and is well behaved and interacts really well

Can I live with other dogs ­– Rubble is good with other dogs and has the potential to be homed with or without another dog in his new home

Can I live with cats - Rubble is interested in cats and will chase to play, there is no malice in him but he is a big lad and could scare the cats unless very bold and used to bouncy dogs

Health - Rubble is very overweight and he will need to continue his weightloss programme in his new home. He is also on a special diet as he has suffered with bladder stones in the past, this was hormone related and so he was neutered and now on a specific diet. We will discuss this on full with suitable applicants

Out and about – He loves going out and gets excited as soon as his harness is seen, he is a little strong on lead initially but does settle. He needs to gradually increase his exercise to help him lose his weight and regain his fitness. He is fine in traffic, happy and confident and travels well in the car

In the home - Rubble is clean in the house, confident with all normal household sights and sounds and welcoming of visitors. He does have some separation anxiety and doesn't like to be left for long. His foster is working on this but it will be ongoing in his new home

Type of home - He is an adorable lad who will need owners who know and love bulldogs and who are committed to ensuring that he continues his weightloss journey. This is going to take time and dedication from his humans. We want this boy to live a long and happy life and losing his weight will hopefully make this a reality for him. He would like his new owners to be around for a good part of the day as he is not used to being left for long periods

Rubble has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and is up to date with flea and worming treatment
Potential adopters will be expected to travel to Aldershot Hampshire to meet Rubble

Her surgery is not going to be cheap, but she deserves the chance of a pain free and mobile life if we can give it to her - This is where we need your help
