Meet Roscoe, a pup by many names: “The Rascal”, “Bad Boy”, “Scream Queen”.
Roscoe was surrendered to the shelter mid-August due to life circumstances that did not allow for him to receive the time and attention he deserved. His previous family did warn that he has a hard time with transition and boy, were they right! In the shelter, he was quite frightened and attempting to bite the staff. Fortunately, a patient and loving foster home took him in with open paws.
Once in foster care, his delightful yet large personality blossomed! He warmed up quickly to his foster family and settled in like he has lived there for years. Roscoe the Rascal is quite playful and enjoys playing with humans, toys, dogs his own size, and the foster kittens in the home. He LOVES to snuggle and be kept warm – he has no problem demanding to be put on your lap or under a blanket. He is super food motivated and thinks your snacks are his snacks. Roscoe the Bad Boy makes poor choices sometimes. He is housebroken but will mark in the house from time-to-time (belly bands are a great way to combat this!). He sometimes likes to instigate fights with dogs much larger than him; despite how many times he is told he won’t win, he doesn’t back down!
Roscoe the Scream Queen uses his vocal sounds to his advantage. He possesses ear-piercing, high-pitched tones, hitting octaves that would put Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande to shame. Combined with his alarm barking, there is never any question about his feelings or intent. If someone is at the door, the whole neighborhood will know. If he is challenging another dog to a duel, his battle cry can be heard far and wide. He gives a whole new meaning to “tiny but mighty”. In his foster home, he lives with large and small dogs (though he doesn’t care for the larger pups); cats; foster kittens; and a toddler. While he does well with the resident toddler, Roscoe would do best with children who can give him his space until he is ready to interact. He rides well in the car and walks good on leash.
Please contact Roscoe’s foster parents, Allison and Joshua, at waldvogel0724@gmail.com to inquire about Roscoe or set up a visit. Please allow up to 24 hours for Allison and Joshua to respond.
