Male Dog, Saint Bernard
Saint Bernard / Great Pyrenees / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
Meet Roscoe! Roscoe is a once-shy guy who is blossoming into a playful, affectionate pup with so much love to give. As his confidence grows, his personality really shines—he’s now more curious than cautious and eager to engage with the world around him. Roscoe loves to play and still has plenty of puppy energy, so toys, enrichment, and playtime are a must. He’s especially happy in the evening hours and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy to romp around with—another dog in the home is required for him to thrive. He’s done wonderfully with his foster’s resident dog and enjoys having a companion to help show him the ropes. He does great in his kennel, including overnight, and potty training is going very well. Once outside, he quickly takes care of business and is learning a solid routine. Roscoe is a smart boy with a beautiful, soft coat (think rabbit fur!) and responds well to gentle but firm guidance. Roscoe is also showing off his growing list of manners and skills. He knows sit, down, and shake, recognizes his name, and will come when called. He’s still working on stay, but hey—he’s a puppy! During meals and playtime, he’s polite and easygoing, with no resource guarding. He may hoard toys in his kennel, but happily lets them be taken without fuss. Currently around 45–50 pounds, Roscoe likely won’t get much bigger. With time, consistency, and a loving home (plus a dog friend!), Roscoe P. Coltrane is going to be someone’s lifetime best friend. Roscoe came to us from a local shelter and is ready to start his next chapter—could it be with you? Roscoe does require another dog to be in his adoptive home. Roscoe is from a local shelter.
