My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rosco is a 3-year-old Pit Bull/Husky mix with stunning blue eyes and a playful spirit that'll brighten your day. This fun-loving guy is all about his toys—he'll happily entertain himself with his favorites and isn't possessive about them. If you don't want to give one up, he'll just grab another! He's treat-motivated and already knows sit, paw, and down, making training sessions a breeze.

Rosco came to us after his previous owner could no longer care for him, and he's ready for a fresh start. He tends to be more comfortable with women than men initially, but with a little patience, he warms up beautifully. While Rosco was attacked by another dog in the past and may have some triggers, he's shown he can do well with the right introductions and a calm, understanding approach.

This handsome boy would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy kids (his enthusiasm might be too much for little ones), and we don't have history with cats. Rosco is looking for someone who can provide him with routine, guidance, and the love he's been waiting for. If you're ready for a loyal, playful companion who'll greet you with excitement and fill your home with joy, Rosco can't wait to meet you!
