💙🐶 Roscoe #A2060409
3/2/2026 STRAY | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 4Y | 46.0 lbs | HW High Positive

💜 Volunteer Notes:

When I walked by Roscoe in his kennel, he was sitting on his bed with his back towards the door of the kennel. I spoke to him, and he turned his head slowly and looked at me with the saddest eyes. He looked as if he’s been through so much in his lifetime. When I took him out, he walked wonderfully on the leash. He appeared to be happy to get out out of his kennel for a little while. Once out in the run, he seemed to really enjoy sitting in the sun and soaking up the sunshine. He didn’t appear to be into the treats too much, but he may not have been feeling well either. He does have a respiratory infection, but it didn’t seem to bother him too much. He wasn’t coughing or sneezing, and I didn’t notice any runny nose or anything. He’s a beautiful brindle color mixed in with black. He does have a little bit of hair loss. He is an absolute sweetheart. He has not one staff note that’s bad. Staff actually told me that he’s a shy, sweet dog. He did wonderful with other dogs on his temperament test. When I was spending time with him, he seemed to wanna just put his head into my lap. I really enjoyed spending time with him and I pray that he makes it out of the shelter.
