About Rupert

Meet Rupert, a delightful bully mix bursting with personality! At around 3 years old and weighing 65 pounds, he embodies the perfect blend of goofy charm and loyalty. House-trained and crate-trained, Rupert is a model citizen in his foster home. He eagerly hops into his crate for a treat and has never had an accident. He knows commands like sit, shake, down, and wait, plus he's great on a leash. Though a tad cautious at first with new people, a little patience and a tasty treat usually win him over. Once you earn his trust, Rupert's affectionate and loyal nature shines through. He thrives on companionship and would fit nicely into a home that values the attributes of a guardian dog. Rupert’s heart lies in his love for balls. Whether he’s playing fetch, displaying his impressive catching skills, or chewing away in the yard, he’s happiest with his favorite toy nearby. Future adopters should be ready for Rupert's "ball budget!" He also enjoys squeaking toys and carrying them around the house. With a medium energy level, Rupert is satisfied with a daily walk, some fetch sessions, and a bit of mental stimulation. Afterward, he loves to relax by your side. He’s quite patient and does not struggle with separation anxiety. Rupert ideally needs an adult-only home where someone understands the nuances of guardian breeds. A single owner or couple would provide the structure and relationships that help him flourish. He's smart and obedient, thriving with clear guidance. While he would do best as an only pet, he gets along well with compatible canines, including a puppy in his foster home. His foster family describes him as sweet, loyal, and quite the entertainer, often flopping over for belly rubs. If you’re looking for a confident companion with a playful spirit and heartfelt loyalty, Rupert could be your perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
