About Roscoe

Roscoe is a male, 2-year-old mixed-breed dog, a charming combination of flat-coated collie and Australian shepherd. He is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained, which simplifies his care. Roscoe enjoys the company of other dogs but is not suitable for homes with children, as he may nip when feeling unsure. His shy nature means he can be apprehensive around strangers and raised voices, but he brightens up when spoken to calmly. When he feels secure, Roscoe exhibits his confident and playful side. It's essential to provide him with a secure fenced area or a dedicated person to keep him leash-bound during outings. This is a courtesy listing for one of our partners, and an adoption fee of $325 applies. Please note that transport fees may also apply as he is located in South Mississippi. Roscoe is eagerly waiting for a loving home where he can truly thrive. Ready to meet your new furry friend?
