Hi there, I'm Rascal! I'm as playful and energetic as they come. My life took a magical turn when I chased a rainbow-colored butterfly and ended up here. I may not have caught the butterfly, but I found a place full of love and care. I'm a goofy guy who loves to play fetch and make new friends. My sweet nature and friendly demeanor will win you over in a heartbeat. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my joy and enthusiasm. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will keep you smiling, then I'm your guy!
