When my husband and I are asked how we ended up adopting Roscoe, we say, "Our golden retriever really wanted a kid, so we got him a pug instead!" We learned early on that our golden retriever, Simcoe, had a "thing" for pugs, and that began our search for the right pup! We have some good friends who are actively involved in Pug Rescue Austin and who who knew of a younger dog that would be looking for a home in the coming months. Without hesitation, we filled out the adoption form and went through the month-long process of becoming eligible adopters. Right as we were approved, Roscoe became available to be adopted. We took him for a week-long trial and knew that, even though he'd had two homes already, ours would be his forever home. Roscoe can be a challenge from time to time, but with patience and love, he has slowly begun to fit into our family. He and Simcoe are officially brothers from other mothers, and they are inseparable. If Simcoe is asleep on the ground, Roscoe is lying on him. If Simcoe is outside, Roscoe is right behind him. It has been so beautiful to see their relationship develop. Adopting Roscoe is one of the best choices we've ever made!
