About Rosco

Meet Rosco, a sweet and soulful senior pup who truly embodies the essence of a laid-back companion. His calm, chill personality shines through as he loves lounging on the couch or relaxing nearby, always enjoying the comfort of being with family. Rosco can be quite vocal when storms hit, expressing his anxieties during thunder and rain. He tends to feel uneasy in busy environments but gently seeks comfort from those around him. He thrives best with calm, respectful children who understand his gentle nature. This handsome boy absolutely adores playing ball, so much so that his humans often need to help him pace himself due to severe arthritis. He’s on medication to keep him comfortable, and while he enjoys short walks and playtime, moderation is key to prevent pain afterwards. Overall house-trained, he may have the occasional accident and usually needs one potty break during the night. Left alone, Rosco settles nicely on the couch or in his bed. He walks well on a leash with a loose style but can be more reactive around smaller dogs. Rosco is searching for a loving and patient home that appreciates his gentle spirit and medical needs. In return, he promises loyal companionship and plenty of love to share. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
