Meet Rosco—a shepherd mix with a big heart and a lot of resilience. He’s been waiting for a home since December 2021, first entering rescue after his previous shelter closed and then spending over three years in a kennel. Even with so much time spent waiting, Rosco hasn’t lost his easygoing spirit or gentle nature. At six years old, Rosco is house trained and has excellent manners. He’s calm, affectionate, and loves car rides, happily watching the world go by from the window. His favorite activity is playing in water—kiddie pools, hoses, even the chance to swim lights him up. Rosco knows basic commands like sit, down, and shake, takes treats gently, and is kennel trained for both day and night. He gets along well with larger dogs if introduced properly, though he isn’t a fit for homes with cats, small dogs, or children, as they make him uneasy. An adult-only household would give him the peace he needs. Rosco is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He’s located in Phoenix, AZ, and truly ready for his next chapter. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
