Story
Meet Rushing Rascal!
Rushing Rascal was entrusted to our care as part of our Final Wish Program. He and five other dogs from the same home arrived on April 19th after their dad passed away. Rushing Rascal is an all-around good boy and bundle of love! He is 11 years old and weighs about 20 lbs.
Rushing Rascal is so confident and brave, you wouldn't know he is blind. On an outing to the beach with volunteers and other dogs, Rascal wasn't nervous about the water and waves at all. He actually led the way there! Rascal also enjoyed sitting and listening to all of the sounds, and he would have happily run off to explore them all.
Rushing Rascal also went on outing with volunteers and a Frosted Friend to the local pet supply store and picked out treats. He earned rave reviews for being so sweet, friendly, and full of energy. He also rode nicely in the car and was an all-around great shopping companion!
Rushing Rascal was chosen for a two-week Frosted Fling that has turned into a Foster home. We received a great report from his Foster Mom about what life with Rascal is like:
"Our time with Rushing Rascal has just flown by! In fact, what was going to be a two week fling, has blossomed into a long term foster. Rushing Rascal will hang with us until someone decides to adopt him. We can't believe it has already been a month since he arrived at our house.
Rascal has made it so very easy! He may be blind, but he needs no special care except for the love you'd give to any dog.
Rascal walked into our house and made himself right at home. He mapped things out right away and navigates beautifully.
He's very smart, intuitive, and empathic. He knows when someone needs love and will cuddle up to them. He would be fun to take to training classes. He's already learning what "turn right" and "turn left" mean on our walks.
He loves music, in fact his previous human, who recently passed, used to play music on the piano for him. Prior to us picking him as a foster, Rascal spent time with Kelly and Andy, the founders of FFF, and during his overnight stay with them, Andy played the guitar much to this little doggie's delight.
We also love music. While driving in the car we play a wide variety, ranging from 60s rock to 90s hip hop and current pop music. Rascal enjoys it all. He's well behaved in the car and most of the time he just naps for the duration of the ride.
Rascal isn't a big fan of chicken or turkey, but he'll gobble up beef in all of it's tasty forms. After meals he's a big fan of an immediate nap, choosing the couch over going outside to play. His favorite things to fall asleep to are Bob Ross and 80s music.
He's so sweet and gentle. He allows us to wipe his face, ears, and paws without any struggle.
He has been great for baths and actually seems to enjoy the spa treatment
A single person is easily able to wash and dry him with ease. He enjoys being lathered up while munching on beef jerky or hot dog treats.
His biggest joy is outings! He will bounce up and down by the front door with the enthusiasm of a puppy when he knows its time to go. Rascal loves running around the park on sniffari or checking out tide pools on the beach. Thankfully, he does not have a tendency to pick up random icky things off the ground.
Rascal is quite the independent little soul, but much prefers the company of humans. He does enjoy the company of the other dogs, but howls sadly if he realizes there's no humans present in the house. His singing voice is absolutely adorable.
Meeting new dogs is no problem and he embraces each encounter with happiness and love. He had zero issues meeting our dogs and they all are getting along great. He's also good with our cat.
Rascal is a cuddle monster! He loves to be touching someone (human or dog) all the time. We let the dogs sleep in bed with us and he loves that.
Adopt this sweet lil guy and you will have yourself an adventure dog, a cuddle partner or travel buddy. He excels at all these things and more!"
Does Rascal sound like the loving & fun best friend that you've been looking for? If so, email adopt@frostedfacesfoundation.org to schedule an appointment to meet him!
