Roscoe
Hello, my name is Roscoe. My animal id is #10417. I am a male tan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 3 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 21-Oct-2017, with the surrender reason stated as animal health – allergies.
Roscoe is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Roscoe is suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Oh, Roscoe! That pretty face, those long legs, that gusto for life! This guy is a ball of energy–he walks well on the leash, but does pull a bit sometimes (how could he not, with all that eagerness to explore the world!). His former owner reports that he played well with the resident large dog, and Roscoe seems to be housetrained. Sweet and quiet in his kennel, Roscoe is energetic and can be a bit amorous when he gets out. He will need an adopter who is ready to get him lots of exercise, structure, and most importantly–love! Come and meet this pretty boy at the Brooklyn ACC today.
My medical notes are…

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: Recommend no dog parks
Recommendations comments:: Recommend no dog parks: Due to the behaviors that Roscoe has shown during playgroup, we feel that Roscoe should not visit dog parks. The Behavior Department recommends that he be socialized in a more controlled setting until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Roscoe associate dogs with things she enjoys like toys or treats.
Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Strength/leash pulling
Potential challenges comments:: It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. Strength/leash pulling:Roscoe is a very large, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. His adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that he be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which help diminish his strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
