Meet Roscoe, a small terrier mix who is about 2 years old and looking for a patient, understanding person. After being surrendered to a shelter, Roscoe has become fearful of unfamiliar people and needs time to feel safe. Once he trusts someone, he bonds deeply and enjoys being held, receiving affection, and being leashed and handled.

Roscoe may need multiple visits to build a relationship at his own pace. With patience and consistency, his devoted personality can emerge.

Ideal Home

Roscoe is seeking a quiet, calm home without children and without the demands of a busy household. His future family should understand that confidence cannot be rushed and give him time to settle in and decompress.

Ongoing Health

Roscoe is spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and receiving monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Training & Support

Roscoe loves his crate and views it as a safe space. His family should provide an open crate where he can retreat and come and go on his own terms. When he is in his crate, he should be allowed to decompress undisturbed.
