Long Term Resident

Rosco

After we heard the results of his x-ray, I actually told Rosco (and to this day, I know he understood) that if he could not be adopted…he would always have a forever home with me as a long term foster. I loved this sweet boy far too much to let him go. It was obvious that Rosco could not be put up for adoption. We simply did not know how much longer he would have.

For the present, Rosco does not need his expensive medication (approx. $200/month) but we have it on hand when he needs it again. It is inevitable that he will need this medication again in the future. The most painful part of spondylosis is the growing of the calcium bridges, and he will grow more of them. For now, he is the big 155 pound puppy that he deserves to be. He runs, plays, and jumps like every puppy should. When he is not playing he is trying to squeeze into the smallest space on the couch to be close to me.

Although he is a permanent foster in my home, he is now part of our family. With two other dogs to play with, he is never without an adventure. I love him as my own and he even has his own giant-sized bed (although he often has to fight for it). There is not a person that comes in contact with him that does not fall head over heels for him. You can rest assured that anything you can give to help dogs like Rosco will give them the quality of life they deserve until their time comes.
