About Roscoe

Well, where do I start? I’m a very handsome boy (if I do say so myself!) with the silkiest black coat and an awful lot of love to give.

I’m a big affectionate boy and, once you’re one of my trusted humans, you’ll soon discover just how much I love a fuss. In fact, I’m a little bit demanding! If there are three or four of my favourite people around, I’ll happily bounce between everyone, leaning in for cuddles and making sure nobody misses out on giving me attention.

I’m also a big fan of my toys, although I do have a habit of removing all the stuffing. Apparently, that’s half the fun! I love a game of chase and tug too, and the off-lead area is brilliant for stretching my legs, racing around and exploring the tunnels.

Now, Dobermans sometimes have a reputation as guard dogs, but that’s really not me. I’m a big softie who just wants to be loved. I’ve had a difficult start in life and have had a long wait before I could begin looking for my forever home. But I’m finally ready for my next chapter, and I can’t wait to find my people.

I’m a strong lad and still need some help with my lead manners. I can sometimes forget my own strength, but I’m a clever boy, very food motivated and eager to learn, so there’s lots of potential for us to work on this together.

My Perfect Home

♥ A home where I can be the only dog. I’m very frightened of other dogs and cannot live with one. ♥ A family confident with big, strong breeds ♥ Someone happy to continue my lead training and help me build confidence around other dogs from a safe distance ♥ Plenty of toys, games, cuddles and, of course, lots of fuss!

If you’re looking for a big, handsome softie who will happily follow you around for cuddles and make sure you’re never short of affection, I could be your perfect match!
