About Rosco

Meet Rosco, a handsome 5-year-old Lurcher cross with a heart as big as his paws 💛This lovable boy truly lives up to the phrase “gentle giant.” Rosco has shown us nothing but warmth, affection and a wonderfully “goofy but golden” nature. We’re certain his future is full of happiness—he just needs the right family to share it with.Rosco is a real people’s dog who greets everyone like an old friend. He’s full of enthusiasm for life and always ready for his next adventure, whether that’s a walk, a play session, or simply curling up for a cuddle.He has lovely manners overall and hasn’t shown any negative behaviours towards people, although he can get a little bouncy when he’s excited—something that just adds to his charm and can be gently guided with continued training.Rosco has spent time socialising with other dogs and has done well, showing that he can be tolerant and polite. However, he would benefit from being the only dog in the home initially, giving him time to settle and build a strong bond with his new family. Due to his sighthound instincts, he is best suited to a home without cats or small animals.Rosco is a clever boy who loves to learn—especially when treats are involved! He already knows commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “stay,” and takes treats very gently.He walks nicely on the lead and has shown promising recall, making him a great companion for outings. Like many young-at-heart dogs, he is still working on keeping all four paws on the floor when greeting people, but he is eager to please and responds well to guidance.Playtime is one of Rosco’s favourite things, especially chasing balls and enjoying his rubber toys. He may occasionally let out a cheeky bark to encourage more fun—he just doesn’t want the game to end!Rosco is looking for a loving home where he can truly thrive:Family: Suitable for households with children aged 13+, who are confident around a large, lively dogGarden: A secure garden with 6ft fencing where he can stretch his legs safelySupport: A patient and understanding owner who can help him settle into home life and build confidence when left aloneIf you’re searching for a fun-loving, affectionate dog with a playful spirit and a heart full of love to give, Rosco could be your perfect match 🐶💛
