Roscoe | 2-Year-Old Pit Bull Mix | Playful Prancer with a Big Heart
Roscoe is a 45-pound sweetheart who has come a long way from his rough start as a neglected stray. Once malnourished and scared, he’s now a healthy, affectionate pup who loves toys, treats, and a good cuddle session. He’s almost fully house trained, signals when he needs to go out, and does wonderfully in his crate—quiet, patient, and happy to relax with a chew toy.
Roscoe is playful, goofy, and full of personality. His prance during playtime is pure joy, and he’ll offer you his paw or roll over for belly rubs without hesitation. Routine and structure mean everything to him, and when he knows what to expect, he settles beautifully.
Because of his past and his sensitive nature, Roscoe can react defensively when he feels uncertain, startled, or overwhelmed. He’s still learning how to navigate the world, and loud noises, unexpected movements, or unfamiliar animals can trigger his protective instincts. Roscoe will thrive with an adopter who has medium to high training experience—someone who appreciates a dog with potential, understands his signals, and is excited to help him continue building confidence through positive, reassuring guidance.
This beautiful boy will do best in a calm, adult-only home without other pets. He bonds deeply with his people and wants so badly to feel safe. With the right person, his reactivity can continue to improve; he’s food- and toy-motivated, eager to please, and responds wonderfully when gently redirected or reassured.
Roscoe deserves a chance to know a life where the world isn’t scary—where he has consistency, security, and a human who shows him every day that he is safe, valued, and loved. Roscoe will be a loyal, snuggly, joyful companion who will give his whole heart right back.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls.
PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/
Our adoption process is:
1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet.
2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
