My story

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

Featured guest dog:

zzRoscoe is a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix who has not had owners who can keep him long enough to give him a true home. Because of that, he can be pretty stubborn and spicy, but is still willing to love and do his best to get accustomed to others.

He was brought to a board and train because his owners did not know how to stop him from nipping them when they wanted him to do something he didn't want to do. He had been given a lot of privileges which caused him to be stuck in his ways, however during the board and train he learned that he cannot have privileges with that kind of behavior and disrespect.

Now he is willing to learn, adjust, and accommodate people who are handling him, and he has been happy learning! We have seen how sweet, rambunctious, loving, and even tempered he actually is.

He still likes to know that he can do his own thing, but he will listen to correction as well. zzRoscoe trained a month and adjusted accordingly. He now needs someone that knows how to treat a small dog with a big personality and a forever home.

Transition lessons will be provided at no cost by his trainers. If you are interested in zzRoscoe and can give him the structure he needs in a permanent forever home, please fill out an application at pawsinthecity.org
