ROSCOE

Roscoe’s foster-home routine included movie-night cuddles, bedtime belly rubs, and an enthusiastic welcome when his people returned from work. This 4-year-old, 57-pound boy enjoyed playing in the yard and exploring new places, then curling up close for affection. His foster described him as a happy, loving companion who was calmer at home than on busy outings.<br/><br/>Roscoe knows “sit” and “shake” and sometimes offers “down” for a particularly appealing treat. Food rewards have helped him practice waiting for meals and redirecting his attention on walks. He can pull strongly when excited and will benefit from continued leash training. He is experienced with children and dogs, though his rough play style did not suit every dog he met. His compatibility with cats remains unknown; staff observed strong interest in kittens. His foster reported progress with housetraining, with occasional overnight accidents. Now back at the shelter, Roscoe is ready for someone to get to know his playful side and his fondness for settling close.<br/><br/> All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.
