About Roscoe

Roscoe is a 2-year-old Black Mouth Cur/Pit Bull Terrier mix with a golden-brown and black coat. He might be the happiest "wiggle butt" you'll ever meet—a true extrovert when it comes to people and a self-declared champion snuggler. Attention is his favorite thing, and he’ll lean right in for love, whether he’s nudging your hand for pets or curling up for a nap beside you. Roscoe’s outgoing personality and toy-drive make him a promising partner for someone willing to keep up with his training—he already knows his basics and is eager to please for treats or a squeaky toy. He’s built strong and athletic, and his daily workout isn’t optional. Walks, hikes, or good play sessions are vital. He's selective with dog friends (no small dogs, please) and needs a home with either no other pets or only a large, compatible dog. Cats and farm animals are off the table—his prey drive is strong. While his leash manners are pretty good, he’ll still pull sometimes when excited. Roscoe thrives with structure and patience, so a confident adopter with experience is best. In return, you get a loyal, affectionate shadow who will keep your soft toys well-loved and your days never dull. Born November 15, Roscoe is a Scorpio—expect devotion, smarts, and a healthy stubborn streak. Start your journey together! Apply now.
