Story
Hi, I’m Rosco, 44lbs of lap dog!I’ve been with my family for four years, and I’m a friendly, people-loving guy. When I meet new women or men, I’m excited and happy to say hello. I really enjoy being part of the action.I’m fully house trained and will even ring the bells on the back door to let you know when I need to go outside. I know “sit” and “come,” walk great on a leash, and have no reaction to birds or squirrels. Outside on walks, I’m confident and easy to handle. In the yard, I’m more on the passive side and like to just hang out.I’ll be honest about a few things. I’m a little fearful around other dogs, both big and small, so I would do best as the only dog in the home. I can also be protective over my toys and treats - I need a family that understands this and is willing to provide structure and clear boundaries. I’m used to staying in a crate at night and when my family isn’t home, but crating is still a bit of a work in progress for me. I don’t have separation anxiety, though — I just need patience and consistency to feel fully comfortable.I love toys (especially the kind with stuffing — I consider it my job to remove it), and I really need a family who has the time to play with me, exercise me, and include me in daily life. I bond closely with my people and thrive when I’m given attention and direction.To sum it up, I`m adorable of course, very loyal, energetic, friendly with my humans (as long as they don`t want to share my toys). I`ve grumbled at small children in the past, when they tried to take my toys. I would do best as a one-and-only pup without small children visiting.My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you!
