About Roscoe

Roscoe is a striking, energetic young dog who turns heads wherever he goes. His name suits him perfectly—he’s loyal, smart, and devoted, always ready to stick close to his people. At about a year and a half old and tipping the scales around 50 pounds, Roscoe brings big bursts of playfulness and needs a family who can channel his energy into training and fun. He’s still finding his footing with impulse control, but he’s working hard with volunteers and making real progress. Roscoe is likely a mix with Black Lab roots, though his exact makeup is anyone’s guess—he prefers to think of himself as a purebred "Mix-Breed." He’s healthy, eager to learn, and wants someone committed to keeping up his training. Roscoe gets along with other dogs and enjoys the company of children. If you have a secure, fenced-in yard and live in the Alabama or Tennessee Valley region, Roscoe would love to meet you and become part of your family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
