About Rascal

Rascal is a charming 6-month-old, 52 lbs neutered Staffie mix who was rescued from the streets of Texas. Brought to safety by a caring local, he’s a sweet, cuddly boy who thrives on affection and loves being close to his humans. With a moderate puppy energy level, he enjoys playtime, especially with larger dogs, but also knows how to unwind for cozy cuddles. While Rascal can be a bit shy around new dogs and strangers, with patience, he warms up quickly—especially to women and children. He’s kid-friendly and would thrive in a loving home where he can continue to gain confidence. This handsome pup is house trained and crate trained, though he might need gentle encouragement when being confined to his crate due to mild anxiety. Rascal would do best in a moderate-energy home where he won't be left alone for extended periods. He can comfortably manage stairs and is well-behaved in the car, although loud noises can make him seek a quieter spot. If you’re ready to bring love and stability into his life, Rascal is eager to show just how wonderful he can be. Click apply to start the adoption process.
