Looking for a loyal sidekick who doubles as a professional cuddler? Meet Roscoe, the soulful velvet hippo who is ready to lean into your life literally! Roscoe is a handsome, devoted dog who truly values the bond in bonding. He's a love bug who will roll onto his back for belly rubs and happily climb into your arms for kisses. Roscoe has a playful spirit and loves to fetch, making every afternoon feel like a private party. He's not just a pet, he's a best friend who is fully invested in being by your side. While he looks professional on walks, he's a personal space invader at home, pressing his velvet self against your legs to ensure you haven't floated away. Roscoe is looking for a human to adore and a spot on the couch. He's a big dog with an even bigger heart, who believes he's the perfect size to be a portable lap warmer. Beneath his tough exterior is a marshmallowy softie who lives for belly rubs and hearing "Who's a good boy?".
Ideal Home
Roscoe would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can play. He is not suited for apartment living and needs a dog-savvy adopter who understands strong-willed breeds. Roscoe is not a fan of cats.
Ongoing Health
Roscoe has no specific health conditions mentioned. His adoption fee includes all vetting, a 12-month heartworm preventative injection, and a health certificate.
Training & Support
Roscoe is a gold star student at crate training and enjoys car rides. He's learning to navigate the world and is doing a great job checking in with his handler. He is a dream on a leash with clear, firm directions and thrives on routine. Roscoe can be a little stiff during first greetings with other dogs but is ready to coexist once introductions are over. He would be a perfect match for a medium to low energy female dog who doesn't mind his vocal play style.
