Rascal - Golden Retriever and Great Pyrenees Dog Available for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Meet Rascal, an incredibly sweet (and fluffy) little pup with a heart as soft as his coat. His mom was a Golden Retriever mix and his dad a Great Pyrenees mix, and he inherited the best of both—gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully easygoing. He’s already working hard on crate training and potty training and making great progress he will be over 50lbs. Rascal is a quiet soul who rarely barks unless he’s playing, and he loves nothing more than curling up for a good snuggle. He was born around 3/1

He does beautifully with other dogs of all sizes—from tiny 10‑pounders to big 80‑pound buddies—and he’s just as happy entertaining himself with his toys. He loves everyone he meets, kids and adults alike.

With his calm nature and loving personality, Rascal is ready to find a family of his own. Whether you’re hoping for a snuggle buddy or a playful companion, this sweet pup is ready to grow up right by your side.

We are looking for active families who are home often and can provide a structured, physically and mentally stimulating environment for Rowdy so he can grow up to be the best adult fur friend ever. Kids 6 and older in adoptive families are preferred.
