About Rascal

Meet Rascal, a spirited and strong companion weighing in at 70 lbs. He’s a delightful mix, showcasing a splash of Standard Poodle in his genes, making him quite the unique character. Life in his previous home raised him right, imbuing him with both playful energy and house manners. While he’s gets along well with other dogs and cats, he does have a tendency to pester smaller pooches—classic younger brother behavior! Rascal thrives with older kids who can keep up with his playful antics, although he may unintentionally knock over little ones during play. His enthusiasm for walks, swimming, and playtime is infectious, though he does need some work on his leash manners, as he can be reactive at times. If you’re an active individual who's willing to guide him in refining his skills, then Rascal is ready to embark on adventures with you. This loving dog is currently in a foster home, so you'll need an appointment to meet him. Don’t miss out on getting to know this one-of-a-kind pup who’s eager to be part of a forever family.
