My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rascal – A Smart, Playful Cattle Dog Mix Seeking the Right Home
Rascal is a two-year-old Cattle Dog mix with a smaller frame, weighing in at just around 25 lbs. Don’t let his size fool you—he has all the heart, intelligence, and drive of a classic herding breed in a compact little package.
Rascal loves toys, especially anything he can chase or carry, and he’s happiest when he has a job to do. In low-distraction environments, he becomes wonderfully focused and truly shines during training sessions. He is affectionate with his people and loves to push his whole body into your lap for pets and attention. And if you’re someone who enjoys playing fetch, Rascal will happily chase a ball as long as you’re willing to throw it.
Rascal is looking for a very specific type of home where he can be safe, successful, and understood. His ideal match will be:
Adults only
No other animals in the home
A fully fenced yard 
Someone experienced with herding breeds and familiar with their instincts, sensitivities, and need for structure
Rascal will thrive with an adopter who appreciates his intelligence and drive, and who is ready to give him enrichment, consistency, and a calm environment where he can relax and feel secure. In return, he will offer loyalty, enthusiasm, and a whole lot of love.
If you meet his home requirements and are looking for a bright, devoted companion, Rascal may be the perfect fit.

More about this shelter

Our Mission:

To advocate for animal welfare by providing adoption and rehabilitation services to the animals under our care, while fostering a more educated community.

Our Vision:

The vision of PAWS of Coronado is for every animal to have a safe and loving forever home.

Our Commitment:

The Pacific Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is committed to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of all treatable and manageable animals at our facility and those receiving care through our foster care network. PAWS works hard to find permanent homes through our adoption services and animal rescue partnerships. Since its founding, PAWS has not euthanized any healthy animals with treatable conditions. PAWS is a member of the San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition (SDAWC) and has adopted the Asilomar Accords to clarify the standard of care and what constitutes ‘healthy, treatable/manageable and ‘unhealthy/untreatable’ conditions in shelter animals. The SDAWC reached ‘zero euthanasia of treatable animals’ in July of 2015. “Getting to Zero” is the San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition’s commitment to reaching zero euthanasia of healthy or treatable shelter animals in our community. Each member of the SDAWC provides data to the Shelter Animals Count: The National Database to ensure transparency around our work.

Unlike other animal welfare organizations, PAWS has a jurisdictional responsibility to provide animal sheltering and pet licensing for all domestic animals in Coronado. PAWS receives all animals that are legal to own within the Coronado city limits including dogs, cats, pet exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles. Sadly, many of the animals arriving to PAWS have significant medical and/or behavioral conditions that render them ‘unhealthy/untreatable’ as defined in the Asilomar Accords. PAWS only places treatable, manageable animals up for adoption.

PAWS endeavors to rescue all ‘unhealthy/untreatable’ animals through providing a range of services including standard of care diagnostics, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, behavior modification and specialty interventions. Through these efforts, PAWS has saved many ‘unhealthy/untreatable’ animals and we take great pride in the support we are able to provide for all animals in Coronado.
PAWS appreciates your donations that support our mission and all our volunteers who help make this life-saving work possible.
