Meet Roscoe – Waiting Far Too Long for His Second Chance
Roscoe is a 5-6-year-old mixed breed with a heart as big as his smile. He’s been living in a kennel since December 2021, first with a rescue that shut down, and now under our care. We took him in hoping to give him the fresh start he deserves—but he’s still waiting. And he’s waited far too long.
Despite everything, Roscoe remains an affectionate, gentle, and well-mannered dog. He’s house and kennel trained, walks politely on a leash, and is great with large dogs. However, he does need a home without small dogs or cats. Roscoe thrives outdoors—he loves to sniff and explore, making him the perfect companion for walks, hikes, or even runs. One of his favorite things in the world? Water. Whether it’s splashing around, chasing the hose, or going for a swim, Roscoe is always up for some wet and wild fun.
But Roscoe isn’t all energy—he has a wonderfully calm, easygoing nature when outdoors. He’s non-reactive to other dogs, joggers, or cyclists and enjoys simply observing the world around him. He’s also a fan of car rides and loves sticking his head out the window to feel the breeze on his face.
With his soft coat and gentle personality, Roscoe is a cuddle bug at heart. He’s polite with food and treats, making him a joy to have by your side. After years of being overlooked, what he needs most now is a loving home—a place where he can finally feel safe, cherished, and part of a family.
Roscoe is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to meet his people.
