Handsome Roscoe and his sister, Lady, were part of a litter of puppies that were bred for sale. When he did not catch the eye of potential buyers, her owner kept him on the property for potential breeding when he was older. Although given food and water, Roscoe's owner did not provide him with adequate shelter, socialization, or vetting care. When his living conditions were discovered, another rescuer worked with Roscoe's owner to have him and his sister surrendered to MAGSR.

Roscoe is in many ways a young GSD. He is intelligent, curious, and energetic. Although he does need time to warm up to new people and new situations, with a calm and confident handler Roscoe's personality begins to shine.  This handsome guy simply likes to take his time when adjusting to his environment. As Roscoe was previously kept outdoors with a metal shed for shelter, he has not had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of a comfortable household and a soft bed. His new family will need to slowly introduce him to the household so that he has time to acclimate to his new home. As is true with all dogs, Roscoe will thrive in a household where he has structure, routine, and leadership. This will help him develop into the stable and confident dog we know he is destined to become.

Unfortunately, we have learned that Roscoe is heartworm positive. This condition could have been avoided had he been provided with monthly preventatives. MAGSR is beginning Roscoe's heartworm treatment. Although treatment is very expensive, Roscoe is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Roscoe's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Roscoe will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished. If your household is looking for an intelligent and curious boy, please ask to meet Roscoe today!
