About Rascal

Meet Rascal, affectionately known as "Wiggly." This cuddly eleven-year-old mix of Pug, Chihuahua, and Beagle weighs twenty-five pounds and has a personality that shines bright. His foster adores him, and the nickname comes from his delightful habit of wiggling his little butt when he's happy. With well-maintained teeth, he seems much younger than his years. Rascal is all about companionship. He thrives on social interactions and gets thrilled at the thought of meeting new friends during walks. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he primarily likes to stick close to his person. Fully potty trained, he walks beautifully behind you, proving to be a low to medium energy companion. His ideal day involves curling up on the sofa beside you or keeping an eye on you from the couch, as if you're the highlight of his day. Rascal craves affection, relishing deep eye contact, belly rubs, and, of course, food. He's particularly fond of food-related toys. Come nighttime, he’ll be more than eager to snuggle up in bed. Rascal will fit in well in a variety of homes, as long as he receives plenty of love and attention. Whether he’s your only pet or has a furry friend, he’ll gladly settle into apartment life. Rascal is truly a sweetheart looking for a forever home. Ready for a cuddle buddy? Apply now to make Rascal a part of your family!
