About Rubble

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Rubble! This big-hearted tank of a dog is looking for an active and patient forever family. Rubble, likely a mix of American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier, was sadly abandoned but is making great strides in both his physical recovery and training. He’s energetic, a bit shy at first, but with a little time, he’ll want to snuggle up and be your loyal companion. Because Rubble is still building confidence and learning about the world, a home with no children under ten is preferred, along with someone calm and dedicated who can continue his training and provide plenty of exercise. His love of food makes teaching him new things much easier! Rubble is still settling in, so his interactions with other dogs are being evaluated. Local adoption only within about 55 miles of Lockport, NY, is required, and unfortunately, Canadian adoptions aren’t possible due to legislation restrictions. His adoption fee will include spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, and flea treatment. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
