About Roscoe

Roscoe is an 85-pound Great Dane mix with a gentle soul and a young, playful personality. He tends to be a bit reserved when first meeting new people, but warm up quickly and becomes a loyal companion. Roscoe loves the company of other dogs and thrives with a canine buddy to run and play with. Like many big, energetic pups, he’s still learning some manners and would benefit from continued gentle guidance and consistent training. His story has a tough beginning—his former family left him behind when they moved and he ended up on a euthanasia list before being rescued. Despite that, he’s sweet, resilient, and eager to begin the next chapter. Roscoe is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and appears to be house trained. He brings both affection and a healthy dose of Great Dane goofiness to those willing to give him the forever home he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.

Questions about Roscoe
