Roscoe (aka Mr. Man) is around 1.5 years old and is excited about life! He is such a happy boy and loves meeting new people. He was found on the street and then surrendered by his owner who could not care for him. He will be neutered (appointment scheduled) and is up to date on all his vaccines. He is very playful and is working hard on learning his manners but is totally trainable and eager to learn. He is food motivated and also loves toys. Roscoe knows plenty of tricks like sit, down, stand, touch, spin, crawl, paw, high five, through your legs, sit up. He's very smart and picked all these up within a few days with me. He would likely do well with agility training. He loves enrichment games like find it, kongs, lickmats and he really loves chewing nylabones and antlers. We're working very hard on getting him leash trained (no pulling) and he's starting to get it but will need continued training in this area as he is easily overstimulated and distracted outside of the home. Roscoe can be rowdy but will also settle after he's had some exercise. He gets amped up real fast with toys and loves to run around the backyard shaking his favorite ladybug firehose toy. He is working on learning to drop and leave it and is starting to get the hang of playing fetch. Roscoe does the cutest pittie froggy legs and does an actual upward dog yoga pose stretch in the mornings. He's a very sweet boy who just wants to spread the love!
Roscoe's ideal home would be one that can provide boundaries, routine, and consistency. A quiet household is probably best as he is so easily excitable. Roscoe needs an active person/people who will be diligent with his training and provide ample opportunities for him to exercise and play. Due to his jumping, mouthing, and humping behaviors (no aggression, just high arousal with new people, toys, etc) and still working on impulse control, Roscoe would do best in a home without small children. He could likely do ok with older children who know some basic training and/or have experience around large dogs. He gets along with the dog he lives with now but it is unknown how he is with other dogs and cats. From what I can tell, he really wants to play with other dogs but hasn't had the opportunity because he's not yet neutered and just got vaccinated. He would love a home with a fenced yard for romping around.
Roscoe is so full of love and will make someone a very loyal companion if given the chance. He is wiggly, boisterous, sweet, and has the biggest heart. He just needs some consistency and someone to guide him. He is crate trained overnight and while you are away. He has no destructive behaviors in the home and is potty trained. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting this special, beastie boy :)
