About Rosco

Meet Rosco! This well-mannered boy has been a true gentleman since arriving. Rosco is friendly with both people and other dogs—no aggression here. He walks beautifully on a leash, often checking in with his person for approval and maintaining a steady pace. He only pulls when he really needs to go or when something captures his attention. Though he can be a little clumsy and isn't entirely confident getting into the car yet, he's learning each day. Rosco has a charming way of expressing his preferences; when he's not interested in something, he gives a gentle head shake that clearly says "Nope!" With his sweet nature and good leash manners, Rosco could become a wonderful companion for the right family.
