My name is Roscoe!

Roscoe is a sweet and cuddly boy looking for his forever home. He is a social butterfly and will want to hang out with all dogs he meets. When he arrives to a new home, he will need a few hours to decompress but after that, he will quickly show his outgoing personality. In his videos, you can see that he likes to play with other pups in a balanced well and he respects other dogs' boundaries. He especially loves to hang out with females but. Inside the house, he tends to act calm and likes to sleep with his foster parents whenever he is allowed to. Just like every furry child, he is scared of thunder but will feel safe if he is accompanied by his dog friends and his humans. We don't know how he behaves with kittens but he can be cat-tested if requested. Roscoe is crate, potty and leash-trained. Rescue story: Roscoe was found roaming around in an isolated area on the outskirts of East Houston. His foster mom spotted him and opened the door of her car for him. Roscoe was quick to jump inside and this is how he finally became a house dog again. On his first veterinary visit, the doctor identified a hip fracture, possibly caused by a car. After going over his x-rays, the veterinarian said that the fracture didn't need repair surgery since it was "self-healing." After a couple of months in foster, he started walking better (when he arrived, his hip was a little wobbly) and now, he walks and runs without any issues. 

This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process).

PLEASE READ:

 •    If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.

•    All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.

    •    Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments.

Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well.

Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation.
