About Roscoe

Meet Roscoe, the labnificent one-year-old Labrador mix bringing a rush of adorable puppy energy. This toy-loving and enthusiastic companion is all about playtime and loves sprinting around with his foster siblings. At 78 pounds, Roscoe sees himself as a lapdog, never missing an opportunity to snuggle up with anyone nearby. He's a sociable guy, getting along well with older kids, adults, and even cats. While a structured introduction is ideal, Roscoe would thrive as an only pup with an experienced adopter who knows how to do slow introductions, possibly using crate rotation. Roscoe is quite the scholar. He's mastered commands like 'no', 'sit', 'come', 'place', and 'heel', often auto-sitting during walks and at doors. He appreciates a gentle nudge towards good choices, especially with a little help from his e-collar. With crate and house training under his belt, Roscoe is heartworm negative and up to date on vaccinations. If you're seeking a loyal companion who will love you unconditionally, Roscoe is the one.
