ROSCOE - BORDER COLLIE (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Meet Roscoe, the canine equivalent of a double espresso shot. This boy has energy for days and a passion for fetch that could qualify as a full-time job. Frisbee? Don’t even get him started—he’ll set it at your feet, give you that “you know what to do” look, and wait like the most polite little athlete you’ve ever met. He’s a friendly fellow but for kids under 10, he hasn’t met any yet. Roscoe’s a smart cookie, too. He’s got “sit,” “stay,” “lay down,” “shake,” and “kennel” down pat, and he’s always ready to learn more. He lives to please—just don’t expect him to sit still for long. He’d thrive with another dog buddy who can match his zoomie energy and help him burn off that extra spark but would do well as an only dog as well. His happy grin and ever-wagging tail are their own kind of love language. At bedtime, he’s best tucked into his kennel where he can finally hit pause on his day of adventures. Right now, Roscoe’s on the slim side, so he’s looking for someone who’ll keep the toys flying and the food bowl full. With some good meals and lots of activity to drain his energy, this eager, lovable goofball is going to shine. Roscoe is from a local impound.
