Imagine waiting more than 100 days for someone to look into your eyes and say, “Let's go home.”

That's the kind of moment Roscoe Jr. is still waiting for at Anderson County PAWS in Anderson, South Carolina.

At around 2 years old and 60 pounds, this neutered sweetheart has plenty of life ahead of him, and plenty of love he'd like to share.

A little shy, a whole lot of sweet

Roscoe Jr. can be timid when he first meets someone new, but give him a little time and he warms up quickly.

And once he does? Well, let's just say butt scratches are very much appreciated.

He's the kind of dog whose gentle personality shines when someone takes the time to get to know him.

Good manners and a love for the outdoors

Roscoe Jr. already knows “sit” and takes treats gently, which makes snack time a pretty pleasant experience.

At the shelter, he has been tolerant and appropriate around other dogs.

He enjoys getting outside for walks and has a moderate energy level, so he doesn't need nonstop action to be happy.

After some fresh air or a play session, he'd be perfectly content settling beside someone on the couch.

His wish list isn't complicated: time outdoors, a comfortable place to rest and a person who loves him.

More than 100 days is a long time to wait

Roscoe Jr. has now spent over 100 days waiting for a home, and shelter life is beginning to take a toll on him.

That's especially hard for a dog with such a sweet, soulful presence.

Behind those thoughtful eyes is a young dog who deserves the chance to feel safe, loved and at home.

Could you be his person?

If you're considering adding a dog to your family, come meet Roscoe Jr. at Anderson County PAWS.

Let him approach at his own pace, offer him a little patience and see the affectionate companion waiting to come out.

Sometimes the best friendships don't begin with a big, excited hello.

Sometimes they begin with a quiet moment, a gentle scratch and someone finally saying, “You're coming home with me.”
