"My name is Roscoe, and I'm a 4-year-old male Lab mix. After my former owners got tired of me, they tied me out on the balcony with no food or water. How horrible is that? Thankfully, a wonderful lady took pity on me and got me out of there. My humans say it takes me a while to warm up, but once I do, you'll have a friend for life! I'm a smart boy and a quick learner; I will sit and lie down on command, and I walk very well on a leash. I'll need a home where I can get the training, exercise, and attention I need. I would also probably do best in a home without children. Want a tall, dark, and handsome man in your life? Please call 985-859-5246."
