About Roscoe

Old man Roscoe has had quite a journey. He was rescued just in time when his previous family tried to abandon him in a crumbling house. A kind stranger intervened, leading to Roscoe spending a few days in the ER to recover from an acute vestibular disorder. Now in a loving foster home, this charming senior is ready for his forever family. Roscoe is deaf and visually impaired, but none of that hinders his sweet, half-grumpy, half-grateful personality. He loves to lounge and ponder life on cozy dog beds around the house. He's great with other dogs, as long as they’re gentle and don’t knock him over. He’s not asking for much—a warm bed, some companionship, and regular meals. Plus, a little Manhattan now and then wouldn’t hurt. Adopting a senior like Roscoe is rewarding; they’re deserving and so easy to care for! Click apply to start the adoption process.
