About Roscoe

Roscoe is ready to find his forever home after his previous owner made the difficult decision to surrender him. This charming little guy thrives best in a calm environment. Initially, he had a hard time adjusting to shelter life, but once he entered foster care, his delightful personality emerged. Now, he's a feisty lap dog who enjoys following his foster mom around the house, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Despite being a bit shy with new people at first, Roscoe grows more confident each day. Once he trusts you, you'll find him to be exceptionally loyal and affectionate—whether he's curled up beside you on the couch or nestled in your lap. He prefers adults only, thriving in a setup where he can enjoy undivided attention from a single person or a patient couple. Roscoe's confidence has bloomed, aided by his interactions with other small dogs. He loves to engage in playful activities, from tug-of-war to zoomies. Adopters should provide a securely fenced yard since new environments can be overwhelming, and a martingale collar is required for walks. He's also crate trained and does well when left alone. After a bit of adjustment, you'll find Roscoe to be an incredibly loyal companion, eager to shower you with affection. If you're ready for a devoted friend, Roscoe may just be what you're looking for. Start your journey together! Apply now.
