💔 Rascal Has Waited Since 2019 — His Golden Years Matter 💔
We are urgently rescuing the last remaining dogs who have waited years for a family of their own. Their bags are packed, their hearts are hopeful — now they need YOU. 💔➡️❤️
These dogs have done nothing wrong. They’ve simply been overlooked. You can be the hero they’ve been waiting for by fostering or adopting ASAP.
Name: Rascal
Breed: Red Heeler
Age: 11 years old (DOB: January 2014)
S*x: Neutered Male
In Rescue Since: January 2019
Rascal is a senior Red Heeler who deserves peace, patience, and understanding in this stage of his life. He is looking for a calm, confident, experienced owner who understands the heeler breed and values structure, routine, and clear communication.
Heelers are deeply loyal and protective, and Rascal is no exception. In a quiet, predictable home with a single adult, Rascal thrives. Once trust is earned, he is affectionate, playful, food-motivated, and deeply devoted to his person.
Because of his age and instincts, Rascal does best as an only pet or with an experienced foster who understands space management and herding-breed behaviors. He can interact with other dogs, but prefers calm environments and clear boundaries—especially when his person is nearby.
🩺 Senior Care Needs:
• Daily pancreatic enzyme (Pan-tenex) mixed easily into food
• Cataracts that will eventually need surgery
• Reduced vision means he startles at shadows — calm handling and routine help him feel safe
🎾 What Rascal Loves:
• Consistent routines
• Gentle play and enrichment
• Water fun in warm weather (a kiddie pool would be a dream!)
• A steady human he can rely on
Rascal isn’t a dog for everyone — but for the right person, he is everything. He is a loyal, intelligent senior who deserves dignity, stability, and a soft place to land.
