Story
Roscoe is a 3-year-old boy with a sweet personality and so much potential! He enjoys playing with other dogs and is a sweetheart with people. He`s still learning about the big world around him and hasn`t quite found his confidence yet. Sometimes new things can feel a little intimidating, but Roscoe has discovered that a few tasty treats can make just about anything seem less scary! With a little encouragement, patience, and plenty of snacks, he`s sure to blossom.Roscoe is looking for someone who will help him build his confidence, show him new things, and celebrate all his little victories along the way. He`s got the sweetness, the playful spirit, and the willingness to learn. He just needs someone to believe in him! A few treats, a little love, and a forever family... that`s all Roscoe needs to take on the world! Could you be the one to help him discover just how wonderful life can be?

Story
Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I`d love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me! My Friends at Wayside say: - I am enrolled in LIFT University. This is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. - I`m a very smart and food motivated girl!- I love to go on sniffy walks- New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow!- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information. My home needs are: - I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies. Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days so we can meet! - I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises. - For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.
