Rosko the "Pixer"
Rosko is a male boxer/pit bull mix we found at the San Diego County Animal Countrol shelter waaaay down in Bonita. He came in as a stray and has been there since August, so we don't really know anything about his background except he is about 6 months old, possibly a little older. Right now he weighs almost 42 pounds and comes up to a little above the knees. He may get a couple inches taller, and will definitely be filling out. (My guess is to about 60 pounds).
He was very well behaved at the shelter, even with all the stress and distractions going on. He didn't try to jump up on us at all, no signs of aggression, nervousness, nipping, or chewing. He wasn't overly eager for attention nor did he ignore us completely. He really liked running and chasing us around the pen, and even then he was a perfect little gentleman. And he looked very healthy: clear eyes, good teeth, healthy fur, no signs of having been in fights, no limping, etc.
We have to drive back down to Bonita Wednesday afternoon to pick him up. Unfortunately they couldn't get him in for neutering sooner than that and they wouldn't let us take him before the procedure was done.
We assume he is not housebroken and hasn't had any kind of training yet, so we'll be working on that and signing up for obedience classes within the next couple weeks. Scott is working on clearing out some space in the "storage" room behind the garage for him right now. We'll keep him there during the day for the first month or so until he's adjusted, then we'll give him free range between there and the backyard while we're at work.
