About Roscoe

Tall, Dark and Handsome - that is what they call me. My actual name is Roscoe but I answer to Handsome most of the time. If you could help me find a home that would be awesome. I have been at the shelter for 15 months and would really like a family to call my own. I love the shelter staff, don't get me wrong, but word among the dogs is that a home all to myself is so much better. My problem is that I don't show well in my kennel - I jump and bark - it isn't because I am mean - it is because I am so excited that you might be visiting me but apparently I scare visitors away and no one even asks to meet me. I really am a not hating it here at the shelter but an owner to love ME would be the most amazing thing. I am a big boy, I am housebroken and I do fine with dogs my size if they don't go after me - I am pretty submissive with another dog and they like to push me around. I don't go potty in my kennel and I am very trustworthy about not chewing things up (unless of course I get bored). I really am not fond of cats - they run and I want to chase them. I am not that old - I will be 3 in July. I have lots of years left to love someone. I sat in a shelter for a long time in another State before I got transferred to Patriot's with the hope that they would have better luck in finding a big guy like me a home. I do great walking with Pete - just ask him. I now look forward to Pete coming in and taking me for walks. One of the staff here at the shelter is willing to sponsor most of my adoption fee. I am neutered, current on my shots, heartworm negative, current on all the preventatives and I have a chip in me in case I get lost. Please share my story and help me find a home to call my own. I promise to love you with all of my heart.
