About Roscoe Rusk

Meet Roscoe Rusk, a lively mixed breed located in Houston, Texas! This affectionate guy is a delightful mix of German Shorthaired Pointer and Terrier, tipping the scales at around 60 lbs. Roscoe is about to turn 1 year old on September 10, 2023. Roscoe’s enthusiasm for life is infectious. He loves meeting new people and treating every visitor like an old friend. This playful pup thrives in the company of other dogs and would do great with a furry companion to share his adventures with. While he enjoys the company of kids aged 6 and up, his playful energy might be a bit too much for younger ones. When the fun quiets down, you can find Roscoe lounging in his own little pond or munching on slices of watermelon and bananas—his favorite treats! He’s mastered several commands like sit, shake, and spin, and he enjoys showing off his skills. However, he does get a little anxious during storms and fireworks and would appreciate a family that can offer extra comfort during those times. Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, Roscoe is also kennel and potty trained, making him a great addition to any home. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, sociable companion, Roscoe may be just the pup for you! Ready to make a difference in Roscoe's life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
