Story
Roscoe was born around August 27, 2019 and weighs about 20 pounds. Roscoe gets along with other dogs and cats and has been around children as young as seven without any issues. Roscoe rides well in the car and walks nicely on a leash. Roscoe has an incredible long brindle coat that, with regular care, will be stunningly beautiful. He came to us from an unfortunate environment with a flea infestation allergy and since it went untreated so long, he also had a secondary skin bacterial problem which went untreated so long he had some 'alligator' skin doing on in places, all of which has healed beautifully! Roscoe needed a round of antibiotic and we've continued a bi-weekly bath (which he is wonderful about) with shampoos specifically for itch relief and anti-inflammatory response which we will send with you if you remind us. We do leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes and then rinse and we have used a calming conditioner too. Perhaps, there will come a time in his future when so many shampoos are not necessary, but for us it's a small chore to continue his health and healing. Although our steps were not expensive, in our opinion, we would like him to go to a new home that won't mind some vet bills just in case he has a flare up again due to stress, etc. Now back to his personality - it's big! He is the ultimate lap and snuggle buddy and when I sit at the end of the day I try to find a soft or shiny blankie for my lap and he jumps up, on me, rolls around for a few minutes wagging and smiling (I swear) and then settles in for a nap. Although I just adore this little guy he needs someone that is available to him more than I am. He is not a barker. I'm trying to think of something negative to say about him and am struggling, but I'll keep thinking about it until I hear from some lucky person out there! Oh, need to mention that he has very sensitive feelings, He gets hurts/worried if he thinks he did something wrong or someone is angry at him. So, his ideal home will have a soft, friendly, aura.
