An elderly dog whose owner was no longer able to care for him has found himself in rescue waiting to find someone who can. Rascal has been a resident at Dogs Trust Manchester since November 2021, and would like to find a home before having to spend his second Christmas in kennels.

The ten-year-old crossbreed is ready to find a comfy spot on a cosy sofa where he can rest his paws - but don’t let his age fool you as he does like to live up to his name.

Despite being an older gent, fun-loving Rascal still likes to be active, loves a game of fetch, and adores splashing around in paddling pools on warm days.
