Description

Rosco is a well-behaved, easygoing male dog weighing approximately 50 lbs. He is a very chill companion who enjoys playing with his toys and spending time near his person, though he’s also independent and often chooses to sleep in the living room on a simple towel rather than the cozy bed set up for him.

He has been left loose in the home during work hours without any issues. He is fully house trained, reliably goes outside to do his business, and has had no indoor accidents. Rosco does not enjoy spending long periods outside in the cold—he’s definitely done with those -60° northern temperatures!

Rosco is incredibly loving, though he can be a little unsure at times. He plays well with other dogs and truly is the bestest boy. He is adjusting beautifully to life on the south coast and is proving himself to be a bright, cheerful, and intelligent pup who is learning good manners quickly. He would be an ideal companion for a family with the time, interest, and energy to play, train, and engage with him.

🐾 Dog Friendly

Yes — he can be initially uneasy around dogs larger than he is, but if they’re interested in playing, he happily joins in.

🐱 Cat Friendly / Prey Drive

Unknown.

👧 Kid Friendly

Yes — he has spent considerable time with a 5-year-old child and has been nothing but gentle and well-mannered.

🦮 Leash Skills

Rosco walks very well on leash and is quickly learning to stop at curbs before crossing the street.

🚻 House Trained

Yes.

🍖 Food & Training

Rosco is very food-motivated, likely due to having to scrounge for meals before entering care. Food must not be left within his reach, as he will try to help himself. His food focus can be a great asset in training.

🚗 Vehicle Behaviour

He enjoys car rides.

🐾 Other Behaviours to Note

Rosco is still a young dog. He loves to chew, so durable chew toys should always be available. He sleeps soundly through the night.
