About Rascal
Meet Rascal, a unique Patterdale Terrier mix with a vibrant personality. Weighing in at 23 pounds, this round-and-stubby fellow is 6 years old and bursting with affection. His journey started at Leavenworth Animal Control, and since joining Melissa's Second Chances, he has shown just how loyal he can be. Rascal is known for his devotion and love. Once you earn his trust, he’ll want to be by your side, whether you’re on the couch or enjoying a quiet moment. He’s not just affectionate; he’s also potty trained, crate trained, and knows several commands, proving to be quite the well-mannered companion. However, Rascal is a true terrier at heart. Bred to hunt, he has a strong prey drive, making him unsuitable for homes with cats or small animals. Plus, he prefers to be the only dog in the household and is not recommended for families with young children. He can be resource possessive and might nip if he feels his valuable items are under threat, which is why he needs an experienced owner who understands how to manage these traits. Rascal will flourish in an adult-only, structured environment where he can benefit from an active lifestyle or even a yard. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential, but he’s not a fit for dog parks. If you're someone who appreciates the unique quirks of a terrier and is ready for a committed relationship, Rascal could become your loyal best friend. Fun fact: he adores squeaky toys and will turn them to shreds in no time! Ready to welcome Rascal into your life? Apply now and see if this charming boy is the right fit for you.
