Story
Meet Rosco!
Rosco is an adorable 8-month-old Minature Poodle mix with a slightly taller stature than your typical Minature Poodle and a heart as big as his personality! This sweet fella was found as an emaciated stray wandering the streets of Detroit, severely underweight and with a coat so terribly matted that he had to be completely shaved down. Despite the hardships he has endured in his short life, Rosco hasn't let his past diminish his love for people or his happy, affectionate spirit!
When Rosco first entered our care, he weighed a heartbreaking 11 pounds. With proper nutrition, love, and care, he gained more than 10 pounds in less than a month, bringing him to a much healthier 22 pounds! It's amazing what a little TLC can do!
Rosco is an incredibly sweet and gentle boy who absolutely adores people, especially children! He loves spending time with his humans and has some serious Velcro-dog tendencies. Wherever his people are, that's exactly where Rosco wants to be! He's happiest when he's included in the family's everyday activities and soaking up all the love and attention he missed out on.
Although Rosco has experienced more than any puppy should, he's still very much a playful, happy youngster! He enjoys going for walks, playing with toys, and romping around with other dogs. He has also done well around cats and has developed a great understanding of house manners. This smart little fella is eager to learn and has so much potential!
Not surprisingly, after nearly starving, Rosco LOVES his food! He is extremely food motivated, which makes training a breeze, although he can occasionally be a little overzealous when accepting treats. Can you blame him? He's learning to take treats more gently and continues to make wonderful progress. His future family should be patient and consistent as he continues learning all the things a young pup should know.
As a Poodle mix, Rosco will require regular professional grooming to keep his coat healthy and free of mats. He would thrive with a loving family that enjoys spending time together, provides plenty of opportunities for exercise and play, and continues reinforcing his training. He is also not a candidate for a tether system.
Rosco's story may have started with neglect and hunger, but his future is looking brighter every day! This resilient, affectionate, and fun-loving boy deserves a family who will never let him go hungry again and will shower him with all the love he has to give in return.
Could you be the family to give Rosco the happily-ever-after he deserves? He's ready to be loved furever!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
