About Rascal

Rascal is a 1 year old, 35 pound mix looking for a home that will love him forever! Our rescue did a DNA test on Rascal and he is 25% dachshund with a mix of 25% Husky and 50% several other breeds. Rascal is a classy guy and very smart as most mixes are. Rascal is a happy boy who needs a home with time to spend with him every single day. He has lots of zip and energy. He would like a home where he could have room to run and have walks every day. A fenced yard is a must for Rascal. Rascal loves to run with his ears flapping in the wind and is filled with joy! Rascal loves to play in the water . Rascal is very affectionate and thinks he is a tiny little lap dog. He loves to snuggle when he is tired after running and playing. Rascal is very playful and would love a home with time to take him on long walks every day. We feel that Rascal would do very well with agility training. Rascal is leash trained however he can be reactive to other dogs when he is walking and he will bark and lunge at them. Rascal thinks everyone should love him, including kids, cats and other dogs. Rascal loves children but can be very enthusiastic with his greetings and will gallop up in greeting and sometimes his brakes fail in his excitement! Rascal would do best in a home with children over the age of 9 years. Rascal gets along well with other dogs, however we recommend that he be closely monitored in a home with dogs smaller than he is because he is very exuberant and wants to play with everyone. We do not recommend Rascal to a home with cats for this reason. Rascal is house trained and crated trained and uses a doggy door well. He is a puppy so his new family will need to help him have a regular potty schedule. Rascal can get distracted outside by sniffing and exploring and sometimes will 'forget to go' so he does need to be monitored during potty breaks. All rescue dogs go thru a period of adjustment so understanding and patience is important. Rascal is intelligent and has learned commands in his foster home in Maryland. He loves loves loves to go for car rides and wants to sit 'shot gun' to have best views! He is curious about every car going by and so interested in the world around him. This happy boy sleeps in his kennel on his blankie at night. He is does very well in his crate with no accidents. Rascal is still a puppy and he's working on his leash walking in his foster home in Maryland. He understands the command SIT and will listen to his foster mom when she asks him to do so. Rascal does resource guard his food dish. This fabulous boy is ready for someone to love him! Are you the lucky one to welcome him home? Apply to adopt Rascal today!
