About Rascal

Meet Rascal, an adorable mix who brings a bundle of sweetness to the table. He came to us through a caring community member and has shown us just how loving he can be. Despite his playful name, Rascal might need some extra patience. He tends to feel a bit shy and would thrive in a calm, quieter home where he can grow comfortable at his own pace. A peaceful atmosphere is ideal for this little guy; he’d much rather live in a serene environment than a busy one. If there are children in your household, they should be at least 8 years old and ready to engage with him gently, following guidance on how to connect respectfully. With a little time and tender care, Rascal could melt your heart and find a cozy spot beside you on the couch. Come down and meet Rascal; he might just be the perfect companion you’re looking for! At SDHS, Rascal has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ensuring he's ready for his forever home!
