Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 2.4 years old -KNOWN WITH DOGS: Winston LOVES playing with other dogs at the dog park!! He gets along best with female dogs. He does NOT get along with unfixed male dogs. -KNOWN WITH CATS: No experience with cats -KNOWN WITH KIDS: Has been fine with kids, BUT due to some of his herding dog behaviors is recommended for a home with older teens/adults only. -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Winston is housebroken and crate trained! -KNOWN LIKES: Winston LOVES going to the dog park, laying in the sun, going on hikes, and chilling while the family watches movies -KNOWN DISLIKES: Fast introductions to new people in the home. (he's fine outside of the home!) Winston is a great pup, who needs a home comfortable with a dog that is wary around new people! Being part herding breed, his instinct is to nip at someone coming in when they make him nervous. The current family has a great method to keeping everyone safe, but its not a permanent solution from them. Otherwise he's a GREAT companion!!! Notes from the foster: He’s absolutely the best dog! He’s absolutely loyal to those that love him and take care of him. He loves to cuddle and follow you around. Wants to be around you all the time and have fun. He’s perfectly capable of relaxing and watching movie and shows. He loves to go on hikes and to run around. He’s super fast too. His recall is fantastic. I would be hesitant to change his and since he’s super responsive to Winston and Winnie. He’s absolutely not an aggressive dog but when he’s scared or anxious he reacts by nipping which is the boarder collie in him. Winston also loves to lay out in the sun. When you have guests over do a slow introduction. Have him in a crate in a separate room then bring him out. Treats are perfect for introducing him to people. He’s also comfortable with a soft muzzle and pretty calm with it on.

Story
Tulip is playful and sweet. She enjoys curling up for quiet moments just as much as she loves running around and showing off her silly puppy energy. She’s the kind of puppy who follows you around, just happy to be near, offering comfort without even trying. She’s affectionate, eager to learn, and full of love to give. Every day with her has been a reminder of how pure and unconditional a puppy’s love can be. She may be small, but she leaves a big imprint on everyone she meets. Tulip deserves a home where she can continue to grow, feel safe, and be cherished for the wonderful soul she is. Anyone lucky enough to welcome her into their life will gain a loyal companion, a best friend, and a whole lot of love wrapped in a fluffy little package.

Roscoe is in his prime as a young adult dog and eager to go, go, go - romps in parks and world exploration!

What do you say? Is Roscoe the one you can see by your side on all your adventures? What My Foster Says About Me: Roscoe is an easygoing, playful pup who gets along well with other dogs and enjoys both walks and jogs. He’s been doing great in the house and settles nicely in his crate after a short adjustment. Athletic and smart, he’s always up for an adventure and handled busy city environments with confidence. He’s curious about the world, food&#226&#128&#145motivated, and shows lots of potential for training — even fun athletic tricks.
