Here's what the humans have to say about me:
INSIGHTS FROM MY FOSTER: `Roscoe is a sweet, big-headed boy who wants to cuddle. He loves a vigorous walk, and if you`re lucky he will show off his speed with some post-walk zooms around the house. Once he`s tuckered out, he just wants to sit in the coziest spot in the house--a nice soft bed or couch--and wedge himself as close as physically possible to the nearest available human. If you earn his trust, he will invite you to rub his belly. His favorite activities include his snuffle mat and rough-housing with his stuffed frog. Though he looks like a tough guy, he is, in fact, a giant and respectful baby. Here are a few things other things that might be good for a potential adopter to know: -Roscoe is a bit of an anxious boy. He didn`t like when he was separated from a human by a door or when he wasn`t sure whether he was invited onto the couch. -When he gets bored, he tends to whine until he gets his way--though it`s not always clear what he wants! I suspect Roscoe would respond well to a lot of routine and plenty of opportunities for stimulation and play. (He`s good at playing with a toy by himself.) -He`ll need some training for leash walking because he sometimes pulls and he`s strong. He showed signs of being trainable on this front, so maybe this is something that a potential adopter could work with him on. -He is always very interested in other dogs on walks. He pulls to get to them, although he never barks and does not seem aggressive. -In general, Roscoe seems smart and very trainable. He knows SIT and DOWN, and seems to enjoy training sessions. -We had him for about 6 days and did not try leaving him alone, so we`re not sure how he`d handle that -He seems fully housetrained`
`Super sweet and very excited! It was a bit hard to put his seatbelt on at the start because he very excited and was moving around a lot. During our walk he pulled a bit but not to much that it was a problem. When we were heading back, he was very tired and slept on my daughters lap! He is super sweet and a cuddle bug! He was very well with other peop
