08/24/17 13:33 Roscoe is an 11 year old black and brown altered large male dog. He was adopted from the center earlier in August and surrendered due to the pet’s health. Roscoe appetite has decreased and is losing weight. Around strangers, Roscoe is shy but allows to be petted by strangers. He has not lived with children, other dogs, or cats; his owner states he appears to react towards other animals by barking and lunging at them. He does not play with adults. He has not bitten a person or another animal. According to the owner, he has no behavioral issues. His behavior around fireworks and storms is unknown. He does not mind having his food bowl touched, items removed from his mouth, getting a bath, and having his paws touched.

09/08/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Roscoe might be a little wary around new people, but give him a moment or two to warm up and there’s no denying this old man is a GEM! Despite hitting the double digits, he’s still full of spunk: he pulls on leash and bounds after tennis balls like a youngster. He is very treat-motivated and seems very housebroken. His previous owner tells us he is well behaved when left alone, liked to follow his people around the house, and was relaxed and respectful around the other resident dogs (his mom and sister). Although he can be a little anxious in the shelter environment (this isn’t where he belongs, after all!) it’s clear that Roscoe has SO much love to give. He head butts my hands for attention (like a cat!), initiates lap-time (and seems very comforted by it), and in general is very attentive. Whenever I take him out, I get the sense that he is of course happy to relieve himself and expend some energy, but most of all, happy to be doing something together! He would love to welcome you home from work, let you make him steak on the weekends, and be your best friend…come check him out at Brooklyn ACC!

According to his previous guardian, Roscoe had lived with two large female dogs and was relaxed and respectful towards them. He would bark at novel dogs while on walks. The Behavior Department recommends that Roscoe be placed in a home with a resident dog that matches his calm demeanor and is tolerant of his sexually motivated behavior.

Allowed all handling during physical examination.

ENERGY LEVEL: His previous owner describes Roscoe as mellow, affectionate dog. Roscoe displayed low energy and movement throughout assessment. Roscoe will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the (behaviors outlined below). _X_ No young children (under 5)- Roscoe seems a bit uncomfortable with some handling and may be most comfortable in a home without very young children, due to his age, and low tolerance for quick movements. Dog-savvy young children can be considered pending interaction. He otherwise shows good coping skills, even when uncomfortable, and has been quite human social with his caretakers in the care center. Potential challenges: _X_ Handling/touch sensitivity- Roscoe has been noted to become uncomfortable with some handling at times. It is important to always go slow and give Roscoe the option to walk away from any social interaction. He should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Roscoe’s choice to approach a new person or thing. He may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
