About Rumble

Rumble is a sweet, energetic, and affectionate young dog who loves being part of the action. He’s full of beans and adores his people, always eager to be involved in whatever they’re doing. When he's awake, he enjoys chew toys, mental stimulation, and yard time to keep him occupied. He’s a big fan of giving kisses and is happiest when he’s close to his humans.

Where I grew up

Rumble was raised in a home with two adults and no other pets. He has also spent time in a co-working office environment, attending work with his carer 2-3 times per week. In this setting, he settled well under a desk in a private office pod and did not roam freely in the shared space.

A good fit for me is...

Rumble would thrive with a single person or couple who can dedicate time and love to him, as well as an active lifestyle that ensures he gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Ideally, a family with children over eight years old who are comfortable around dogs would also be a great match. He does best with structure and engagement, so a home that can provide consistent training and stimulation will help him thrive.

My personality traits

  • Affectionate & Loving: Rumble is a cuddly companion who loves to be close to his people and give kisses.
  • Energetic & Playful: He enjoys running around, occasional zoomies, and interactive play.
  • Well-Mannered Indoors: He stays quiet, sits calmly near his humans, has good doorway manners, and is fully toilet-trained (can hold overnight with no issues).
  • Workplace Ready: He settles well in an office environment and is comfortable accompanying his person to work.
  • Dog Social but Excitable: Rumble gets excited when seeing other dogs and may lunge to engage in play. He manages well with a head collar when needed and is improving in his impulse control.
  • Independent but Attentive: He does not whine when left alone at home but will follow his humans around the house when they are present.
  • Alert but Not Excessive: He may bark when the doorbell rings and will gently whine in the morning when ready to start the day.

Training & Equipment

  • Walking Equipment: Primarily walks on a flat collar but uses a chest harness or head collar in high-distraction areas.
  • Crate Training: Generally settles well in his crate but may occasionally whine for attention.
  • House Training: Fully toilet-trained, with no accidents indoors.
  • Potential Challenges: May be tempted to dig if given the opportunity (though hasn’t been able to test this due to astroturf). He also loves soft toys but will eventually destroy them!

Rumble is an affectionate, fun-loving companion looking for a home that will embrace his playful spirit and continue his training.
