Rascal

My story

Senior sweetie Rascal is looking for a family to live out his golden years with. -- Male -- 12 years old -- 15 pounds -- Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped -- Recent bloodwork done- nothing concerning -- Dental cleaning scheduled -- Dog friendly- lived w/ all sizes, genders, ages -- Lively, loving, spurts of spunky, but slowed senior roll Rascal is a perfect blend for someone looking for a dog on a more slowed roll, no need to go on 2 mile walks every day or play fetch, no desire to parkour off your couch mid zoomies — but a dog that’s not on their death bed either. Rascal still gets spunky and has a zest for life, likes to follow you around, “talk” and tell you what he thinks (talking is one of his specialties) — but he is a senior guy on that slowed roll. Rascal was hit by a school bus about a year ago and had multiple pelvic breaks go unaddressed at the time. That said, Rascal’s pelvis did an incredible job at remodeling itself back together. It doesn’t slow him down much, his gait just looks a little wanky and goofy sometimes in light of the different structural form inside. He is on an OTC joint supplement, as well as Gabapentin as needed. We are happy to stock an adopter up with both of these to go with him. Rascal would love an adopter who is home more often than not (as compared to e.g. someone who works away from home 40+ hours a week). Rascal previously lived with his elderly retired owner and was accustom to her pretty much always being home. Since being in foster, Rascal is working hard to overcome some separation, crate and storm anxiety. He just isn’t use to be left alone long nor being crated, but his dedicated foster has been working hard with him on these things. Rascal is currently in foster with other dogs, and previously lived in a home prior to rescue with 40+ dogs of all sizes, genders, ages. Rascal is available for adoption or foster-to-adopt (FTA). FTA is a commitment free trail run to make sure things are a fit before sealing the deal. Rascal could join a new family anytime as long as they could take him to his dental cleaning on 8/28 (that we are paying for). He could also meet a new family before the dental, but hang tight with his foster until 8/28 and plan to go home with adopters after. As all newly adopted dogs are, Rascal will be a flight risk starting off.
