ROSCO is a 6-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier in Janesville, MN, who needs $2,000 for Laryngeal Paralysis Tie Back of the Right Arytenoid.

Rosco is a rescue from Texas. He found us when we found him at Benches Animal Shelter. When it was his turn to meet us he fell in love with our son. It was time for him to be put back in his kennel and he went over and sat on my sons lap and wouldn't move, the rest is history. He came home with us. People always say they pick their owners and it was very true for us.

Rosco is a very lovable and smart dog. He is very food motivated, if you have food he's your best friend. He always wants to be by someone and touching them when we are home and has claimed our beds at night as his own. He is very vocal when its time to eat and won't let you forget. He has been on a strict diet since his last surgery and has lost over 13 (huge milestone for him),

Rosco loves the snow but hates the rain and storms. He would go on walks for hours and sniff everything if he could. He loves to play fetch with is stuffed animals and can figure out any treat toys you give him. He will greet you at the door when you come home. His toxic trait is getting into the garbage and snack cupboard's when we forget to lock them. He loves to go boating and ice fishing too.

On Sept. 8, 2022, Rosco was diagnosed with Bilateral Laryngeal paralysis, elongated soft palate, everted tonsils and everted laryngeal saccules, he ended up having emergency surgery to save his life. On Jan. 26, 2023 Rosco was re evaluated for failure of the tie back surgery. He is in need of the tie back surgery again so he can live a long and happy life.

Due to this being Rosco's second surgery, I am maxed out financially from the first one $7000. It would me the world to us to have Rosco happy and healthy again and to live a long and prosperous life giving all the love and snuggles he does.
