About Roscoe

Roscoe is a young, sensitive Labrador Retriever and Hound mix who ended up at the shelter after his previous family couldn't keep him. He has a gentle and hesitant side with new faces but comes around quickly, showing more of his goofy, endearing personality. Chasing tennis balls in the yard is one of his favorite activities, and he's got good leash manners that make walks easy. Very much still in his puppy stage, Roscoe benefits from patient, confidence-building guidance to help him mature. He responds best to positive reinforcement and gentle corrections. He seems comfortable around both dogs and cats, mostly ignoring them out and about, and he's house trained. Roscoe's friendly personality and silly side make him a great fit for families, including those with children. He just wants someone who's willing to invest time in helping him grow up to be his best self. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
