House trained: Yes Energy level: Low Noise level: Quiet My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Roscoe is how he gently asks for pets! Likes: Taking walks and getting pets Hi there, Im Roscoe! Im a super sweet, laid back, gentle guy. Some of my favorite things to do are taking long walks, and napping in the sun. I also like to play with my toys, by myself or with my humans, and get all the snuggles. Im a bit of a shy guy, and I dont love loud noises, but other than that Im a happy pup. I like to meet new doggy friends, and love playing with other dogs. Im a little hesitant around human strangers, and the only time my foster mom has heard me bark is when someone I dont know comes to visit. After a few minutes though, Im happy to make friends, and Im gaining confidence as I get more settled in D.C. My foster mom describes me as very polite and well-behaved because Im crate trained, potty-trained, and dont try to get on the furniture. I know come and leave it, and Id be happy to learn even more tricks with my forever family. If youre looking for a gentle pup who will shower you with love and be a loyal walk buddy for life, Im your guy! Apply to adopt me today!

Additional adoption info
Adoption area is Washington, D.C area, including Northern Virginia and Maryland. All adoptions require a completed adoption application. Our adoption coordinators will contact you soon after reviewing the application. Our adoption fee is $450 to help off set the costs of rescuing dogs in need. All dogs go to their new homes spayed or neutered, up to date on all shots, wormed (although a 2nd worming may be required), started on heart worm and flea and tick preventative and sometimes microchipped.
Although we try to be as accurate as possible, Rural Dog Rescue cannot guarantee the breed or full-grown adult size of any of the dogs or puppies in its care. Because many of these dogs were found as strays or are the result of irresponsible, unplanned breeding, we do not know the dog's exact background and can only list breed and size by our best educated guess. If exact breed and size are important to you, please consider adopting a dog from a specific breed rescue. We want our dogs to be adopted by people who will love and care for them forever for who they are - no matter what breed and size they turn out to be!
