About Max Is Only Pounds

Rascal’s start in life has been rough—just a month ago, he was abandoned along with his closest companion and left to fend for himself. Before he could be rescued, his friend passed away, leaving Rascal scared and unsure of who to trust. Since finding safety, though, Rascal’s true spirit is coming to light. He’s showing what a truly loving and gentle boy he is, eager for affection and simple kindness from people. Fully vetted, dog friendly, and sweet-natured, Rascal is still quite young at about 8 months and weighs just 16 pounds. His recent losses haven’t dulled his hope; instead, he’s holding out for someone to show him that home can be peaceful and full of love. He’s looking for either a foster or a permanent home in Kaufman, TX where he can finally relax and be himself. Rascal also gets along well with other dogs and is comfortable around children, which makes him a solid fit for a caring family ready to make up for all he has missed out on. Ready to fall in love?
