Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi Everybody,
My name is Rascal and I am an affectionate little guy of one, very puppy-like and adorable. I weigh about 15 pounds and I’m known for my beautiful cream and brandy colored coat and gorgeous soulful dark eyes that make Mom melt. (I’ve never actually seen her melt, but that’s what she says!) I’m a very happy, handsome, loving and lucky boy. Let’s start with why I am so lucky.
Until a few weeks ago, I was living in the shelter with lots of other dogs in my ‘cage’ and I was doing everything I could think of to get out. I smiled a lot and licked hands a lot and did whatever tricks I knew – and, guess what? It worked! Now I have a foster Mom who is great, a doggy foster brother who kind of looks like me (and thinks I’m a really terrific guy) and I get to cuddle. (Mom says I’m the one who likes to cuddle but I tell her it takes two!)
Mom says I’m a sweet and lovable little guy who is well-mannered, smart and learns quickly. She says I’m a very playful and active companion – and that I love to run and play with my doggie foster brother. We play so much that I take little power naps so I can be refreshed and ready to go.
I’m not only about running and playing though! No siree, I like to relax and chew my toys ( I am still a puppy, after all.) And when I want attention, I just look Mom right in the eyes so she will pick me up then we can snuggle (For all we are worth!)
I really like to go on my walks. I’m very well mannered and stay right by Mom’s side. The other thing I like to do is ride in the car! In fact I just LOVE to ride in the car! The minute someone goes into the garage, there I am – ready to jump in the car and go for a ride. Initially, I like to look outside while we are riding, then I sit down and let the world go by. Mom says you simply couldn’t find a better companion to do whatever you want to do, wherever you want to do it!
After entertaining my family throughout the day, I get to sleep in the Big People’s bed. And I sleep quietly all through the night. As soon as Mom makes eye contact with me, I know it’s time to get up and start the day.) And of course, being the true gentleman that I am, I’m housebroken.
Oops! I almost forgot to tell you: I am learning commands, and already know my name, “come”, “sit”, and my favorite, “Let’s go!”. Mom says I’m smart and want to please so there’s lots more that I can learn.
I enjoy the company of both people and other pups so my Forever Home needs to have both: people to play and snuggle with, and a doggie sister or brother! That would make me smile even more!
So if you are looking for a lovebug of a guy who is playful, active, intelligent and special in many ways, please ask for me.
Tails wags and bichon kisses,
Remarkable, Resilient and Receptive Rascal
