Story
Rosco is a handsome hunk who loves to eat, walk, and go for car rides. He's outgoing and gets along well with just about everyone. Rosco is healthy and happy, even though the vet put him on a diet. He's about 4 years old and will make a fun companion for years to come.
Foster Update: Hi, I'm Rosco, and I'm looking for a loving family to adopt me. I have a terrific deep baritone bark that reverberates through the house. I usually stop when my belly gets rubbed, but sometimes I just like to let those built up barks out for a few minutes. I've found myself in a situation where I'm quite fluffy (76 pounds), so I need an owner who will not be guilt tripped by my sad soulful eyes when they are eating. My foster parents add cooked green vegetables to my kibble for filler, and I gobble them up. I need to stay on a strict diet to achieve my peak health. Apart from having a few extra pounds, the vet gave me a clean bill of health. I was very well behaved for the vet and let them poke and prod and even cut my nails without making a fuss. Although my ears are long, they are not long enough to get dirty, so I'm a pretty clean basset hound. Also, I'm not a "drooly" dog, so you don't need to constantly wipe my mouth like some dogs. I have a naturally clean, fresh doggie scent and not a strong dog odor. I'm very friendly to those I meet, and I enjoy relaxing and watching TV with my foster parents. Some nights I sleep in bed with my humans, and some nights I stay in dog bed on the floor. When I want to go for a walk, I can walk half a mile no problem. However, I like to go at my own pace, so don't be a rush because I love to note all the smells that other dogs leave behind as if we are on a scavenger hunt. I'm 100% potty trained. I love to go in the car and behave myself quite well there. When left alone during the day, I sleep and am not destructive to your property. When you arrive home, I'm super excited to give you attention and tell you how much I've missed you and how much I love you. I do well with other dogs and would prefer to be in a pack. When around other dogs, I'm a good follower and do not need to be alpha. I very much enjoy roaming freely in a fenced backyard, and I even run at top speed if I have another dog to play with me. My foster dad likes to tease that I’ve got two brain cells, and they don’t even fire at the same time. In response I will quote Mark Twain: “When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.” If you think we would be a good match, fill out an application and tell them Rosco sent you.
