Roscoe is a 5 year old love of a guy whose owner moved back to MO from California.  Roscoe was one of three dogs -- the owner decided to keep the other two but get rid of Roscoe.  The reason given was that they just couldn't afford him.  But the owner let it slip  several times that Roscoe is "the dumbest dog in the world" (while the other two are smart).  The owner also virtually said they don't like Roscoe (but do like the other two).  Of course they had exiled Roscoe outdoors his entire life and never allowed him to be an inside dog, so how would anyone know the real Roscoe?  As for not affording him, the owner was on a good pension,  driving a brand new car, and too busy going to the Chiefs game to meet us.  Yet poor Roscoe was on the cheapest dog food he could find.

Our hearts broke for gentle Roscoe - who truly is sweet, unassuming and undemanding!!!  He was filthy, covered in dirt and dust, fed horrible food, left outdoors 24/7, and disliked and insulted by the owners.  We bathed him, brushed him and as quickly as we could found a terrific foster home -- who fell in love with him immediately, just like we did. 

Roscoe is the exact opposite of "dumb"!  He's one smart cookie - and it shows.  He's already learning to be an inside dog and LOVES sitting at the feet of his foster mom and dad!  He's learning basic commands quickly and likes the kitties in his new house, though they're still getting used to him.  He's gentle with them and doesn't push  himself on them.  He's also getting used to horses! 

Roscoe is simply a mellow, calm, undemanding and SMART love of a guy who will be loyal to you forever!!!  WOW!!

If you're looking for a quiet love of a dog 
who's mellow and will love you forever,
ROSCOE is your dream dog!!!

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
