Description

This sweet boy was dumped on the side of the road and picked up by a good Samaritan. Eventually, he found his way into another rescue to make sure his second chance was set up for success. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist.

Rosco is clearly a lover. With his deep, loving eyes, he simply draws you into his soul. A huge leaner, once he's comfortable with his people, he'll shower you with attention and kisses - sometimes without even asking first! This stunning boy has moderate-energy and is an absolute gentleman. Because of his tolerant, loyal, and friendly personality, this gentle guy does well with kids and female dogs. An affectionate boy, he needs to gain a few pounds - more to love! Rosco is still working on his leash manners, but with his curious and smart nature, this may not be a super challenging task. Not only will training help him develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him strengthen his good boy skills. Like any new dog, Rosco will thrive with structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations; this will help him adjust to the expectations of his forever family. With a little time and patience, he's going to be the perfect companion.

Unfortunately, Rosco is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had he been kept up to date with preventatives. Knowing that Rosco needed to move forward with treatment, the rescue began the first steps in this process and our team already has plans for next steps. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know that handsome little Rosco is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Rosco's care. Your donation will not only help  Rosco, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs to the MAGSR family. Rosco will need to take it easy over the next couple of months during treatment. However, this will help him take the time to decompress and adjust to his forever family. If Rosco sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this boy today.
