Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Roscoe finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Roscoe #6 | 2-Year-Old Pit Bull Mix | Playful Prancer with a Big Heart Roscoe is a 60-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 adores his people. A true professional snuggler, Roscoe loves curling into your arm, resting his head on your chest, and relaxing together. He greets everyone like a new best friend, complete with the most adorable full-body wiggle when you come home. Playful, goofy, and full of personality, Roscoe loves tug-of-war, fetch with sturdy rubber balls, and anything that involves interaction with his humans. He’s a strong chewer and does best with durable toys. He enjoys car rides, walks, and hikes in parks, and would likely thrive on more adventurous outings. On leash, he does well with only mild pulling in a front-clipped harness. Roscoe is nearly fully house trained and will let you know when he needs to go out by standing at the door or barking if you’re not nearby. He’s very smart and eager to learn—already knowing sit and stay and quickly picking up down, shake, and gentle (which just needs continued reinforcement when he’s excited). Roscoe bonds deeply with his humans and takes that role seriously. He’s done well meeting dogs on walks but has shown some resource guarding with other dogs in the home, so he will do best as the only pet where he can fully relax and soak up attention. Roscoe deserves a home where he feels safe, secure, and deeply loved. With patience and routine, his confidence continues to grow. He is food- and toy-motivated, eager to please, and responds beautifully to gentle redirection. In the right home, Roscoe will be a loyal, snuggly, joyful companion who gives his whole heart to his person—and never looks 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! December 21, 2025, 9:59 am
