Roscoe (Russell)

MEET ROSCOE<br/><br/>Male, neutered<br/>Approx. Age: 4.5 years<br/>Approx. Weight: 80 lbs<br/>Activity level: Low-Moderate (he matches your energy!)<br/><br/>Introducing Roscoe! Rescued in July 2023, Roscoe is now one of the longest dogs in care with K9 Advocacy Manitoba and we can’t figure out why! <br/><br/>He is as loveable as they come. Roscoe is equally happy to join you on an adventure as he is to snuggle on the couch all night. While he may only have partial vision (he was born blind in one eye), this doesn’t slow him down at all. He can fetch a ball with the best of them! (And he will certainly fetch every ball he can see)<br/><br/>Roscoe is not interested in food or in destructive chewing. His foster mom leaves his food bag out on the floor and he’s never once ripped into it while unattended! Because he is non-destructive, he is left to free roam when alone. He is not yet kennel trained, but we’re certain kennel training would be possible with positive reinforcement. Roscoe lives to please and will eagerly learn commands in exchange for some gentle praise and a scratch on the ears.<br/><br/>In training, Roscoe has worked very hard on leash reactivity and impulse control, even developing the ability to “leave it” when a backyard bunny or squirrel is sitting right in front of him! However, he still has a prey drive that is easily triggered due to his impaired eyesight. Because of this, Roscoe is not suitable for a home with cats or small dogs. <br/><br/>While Roscoe has been around children with ease, he is best suited for a space with no children due to his preference for a gentle touch and a peaceful environment to call home. <br/><br/>When it comes to large dogs, Roscoe can be selective. However, he has made many friends when he’s allowed to have a slow and controlled introduction, and we’re confident he will make many more. He would thrive in a home with a large, confident female dog who is comfortable with some roughhouse style play, and she could show him that the world isn’t too scary. <br/>Roscoe would also be happy to be the only dog in the home and to get all of the belly rubs and couch snuggles for himself. <br/><br/>If you think you’re ready for the unconditional love that Roscoe is so eager to give, complete an adoption application today to set up a meet ‘n greet with this very good boy!
