Meet Rascal — there’s no missing him when he’s racing across the yard, ears flapping, or sprawled in a sunbeam soaking in the heat. At three years old, he’s sharp, full of mischief, and has a personality as bright as his favorite sunny spot. Rascal needs a bit of time to get comfortable with new folks, but the right treat goes a long way to winning him over. Once he trusts you, he loves to learn and is always quick to show you his sit and stay—he’s happiest when the rules are clear and kindness is steady. Rascal’s independent streak means he thrives with a handler who’s seen a bit of the world—a dog-savvy, patient adopter who gets that trust is earned, not demanded. He needs to be the only pet in the home; sharing space with other animals just isn’t for him. If you offer a structured, calmer environment, Rascal will repay you with loyalty and a goofy, loving spirit. He’s looking for someone who respects his pace and will celebrate each small step forward. Rascal is ready to start fresh with a person who understands him and can give him the stability he’s been missing. Think you’re the one? Submit an application!
