My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rascal’s story is unusual but deserves to be told. He was surrendered to us after a fight broke out between the dogs in the home and Rascal was thought to be the instigator. His owner was panicking and wasn’t sure what to do because there was a child in the home and they wanted to be proactive. The humane society had a surrender waitlist, which was not an option, so they decided to surrender Rascal to the pound, knowing he would have to be labeled as “aggressive”, and euthanized, per protocol.
However, Rascal has been tested time and time again with other dogs, strangers, volunteers, and anyone else who will give him the time of day and he has not shown any aggression, so he has been given the green light to be adopted. Rascal is playful and goofy and loves to be right by your side. He is obsessed with one of our volunteers and has shown that he forms very strong bonds with be people he loves. Upon meeting Rascal you’ll notice he makes an absurd amount of noise - grunting, snarling, huffing and puffing, but we truly think he’s just a quirky dog!
