TO BE KILLED 11/21/2020
HANDSOME BIG BOY ROSCOE CAN’T CATCH A BREAK! Returned for the 4th time, entering the ACC system as a puppy, failed by humans again and again. It is obvious that Roscoe has had a rough start in life. Fearful of strangers, he can be growly which is his way of telling humans he doesn’t want to be touched by STRANGERS. But he still TRUSTS people and will warm up in time. This beautiful big boy just needs an experienced home where he will be loved and can feel safe. Please advocate for Roscoe to help him.

Recommendations:
No children (under 13)
Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:
No children: Due to Roscoe's reported behavior towards the children in a previous home, his bite history, and his aloofness towards handlers at the care center, we recommend an adult-only home.
New Hope Only: Due to Roscoe's potential for defensive aggression, bite history, and his behavior towards handlers at the care center, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
Potential challenges:
House soiling
Resource guarding
Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
Bite history (human)
Potential challenges comments:
Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Roscoe is reported to be shy with strangers. He has also been reported to lunge and growl at children in the home, and has snapped when uncomfortable. During his most recent stay at the care center, he is aloof with handlers and mostly keeps to himself. Please see handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression.
House soiling: Roscoe is reported to have accidents in the home. See handout on House soiling.
Resource guarding: Roscoe is reported to be food reactive and has bitten a child in the previous home over a lollipop (see Bite History). He should always be left alone while eating or while in possession of items he values. See handout on Resource guarding.
Bite history (human): Roscoe bit a child in the home. The grandson was eating a lollipop and Roscoe took it from him. The grandson attempted to take it back from Roscoe and he bit him, leaving a puncture on his chin and a scratch under the right eye. See handout on Bite History.
