About Rupert

Looking for a loyal sidekick with a giant personality? Meet Rupert, a charming French Mastiff and Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. At around three years old and weighing 62 pounds, he’s a blend of goofiness and devotion, ready to be your best friend. Rupert is house-trained and crate-trained, making him a well-behaved companion at home. He adapts quickly, having impressed his foster family with his skills. Commands like sit, shake, and down are well within his grasp, and he eagerly trots into his crate for treat time. While Rupert can initially be a bit cautious around new faces, he warms up with a bit of encouragement, especially if hot dogs or a ball are involved. His loyalty shines through once trust is built. He adores being around his people, cherishing the bonds that develop over time. If you want to hear the words "battle ball champion," Rupert is your guy. His heart is in the game, whether he is fetching or chewing on his toy. His medium energy level means he enjoys daily walks and mental stimulation but is also content to lounge in the yard afterward. Rupert prefers a home with respectful teenagers and adults who understand that trust needs to be earned. Due to limited exposure with other pets, any introductions should be gradual. He may thrive as an only pet or with a calm dog buddy. His foster family describes him as sweet, loyal, and full of character, making him quite the catch for the right adopter. If you're a confident adopter who values a thoughtful companion with a playful spirit, Rupert could be the dog for you.
