Notes: Rubble (formerly Bulbasaur) is gentle giant that is very eager to please. He enjoys all forms of food, toys and all people. Per his former owner, he is wonderful with kids and people, but he does have some resource guarding concerns when it comes to other dogs. Unfortunately for Rubble, he has been attacked by two dogs. We do not know what happened to him prior to our having him or his previous adopters, but we do know that these things do sometimes have an effect on dogs behavior. He is not an aggressive dog, he plays with other dogs well but when food or toys get involved, he becomes territorial, causing the other dogs or him to react negatively. Due to this, and our concern that he could be attacked again, we are recommending him as an only dog in the house. He is truly a gem and he needs a safe and happy home.
