Rascal

Meet Rascal — a special boy with a big heart and a lot of potential.<br/><br/>Rascal is an 8-year-old American Eskimo/Siberian Husky mix with a fun personality and a loving soul. He’s playful, intelligent, and still full of life, but he’s also a dog who needs patience, understanding, and a calm home environment as he continues to build confidence.<br/><br/>Rascal spent his early years in a puppy mill, where he lacked proper socialization, guidance, and positive human interaction. Because of this, he can be wary of new people and may sometimes give mixed signals — for example, approaching for attention while also vocalizing uncertainty. With time, consistency, and trust, Rascal forms meaningful bonds and shows affection on his terms.<br/><br/>One big milestone for Rascal is that he now both gives and receives kisses. This is something he chooses to do when he feels comfortable, usually when verbally invited, and it’s a wonderful sign of how far he has come.<br/><br/>Rascal is highly food-motivated and loves treats, meals, and chew toys — especially hard plastic bones. Mealtime is very exciting for him, and he is still working on manners such as jumping or counter surfing, though he continues to make progress. He also has a mischievous streak and enjoys shredding paper if he finds it, but he redirects well when provided with appropriate toys.<br/><br/>He enjoys being outdoors and does well playing with his canine companions. At times he can become overly playful or pushy, but he responds appropriately to corrections from both dogs and humans. Rascal also does well with cats.<br/><br/>Rascal is not fully housebroken and currently wears a diaper indoors due to marking behavior. This has been improving with continued work, and he does not mark while wearing the diaper, indicating this is a behavioral issue rather than a medical one. His foster is actively working with him, but potential adopters should be comfortable managing this as part of his continued training.<br/><br/>Due to his background and occasional unpredictability with unfamiliar people, Rascal will need a home without children. He has come a long way and deserves a patient, experienced adopter who understands his past and is willing to continue helping him succeed.<br/><br/>In the right home, Rascal will be a loyal and devoted companion. His foster is happy to share insight, routines, and guidance to help ensure a smooth transition and continued progress in his forever home.<br/><br/>Rascal has worked hard to get where he is today, and with the right adopter, he will continue to grow into a loyal and loving companion.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please complete and submit an adoption application.
