About Roscoe Rusk

Meet Roscoe Rusk! This lively dog is a mixed breed with a fun-loving spirit and a zest for life. He greets every visitor like a long-lost friend and thinks everyone deserves a warm welcome. Roscoe enjoys playtime and would thrive in a home with another canine buddy to romp around with. While he gets along well with older children, his enthusiastic nature might be overwhelming for younger ones. When he’s not bouncing around, you can find Roscoe lounging in his own little pond or enjoying treats like watermelon and bananas. He has mastered basic commands—sit, shake, spin, and lay down—and loves to show them off. However, he can feel nervous during thunderstorms and fireworks, so he needs a family ready to provide some extra comfort during those times. Roscoe Rusk is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He is kennel and potty trained, and he does well with both dogs and children aged six and up. He’s currently in Houston, TX, and transport is included in the adoption fee! If you're after a playful companion with an outgoing personality, Roscoe is your guy! What are you waiting for?
