Originally from South Texas, Roscoe found himself at an animal shelter in San Benito. From San Benito, he was shipped to Austin before making his way to the Foothills Animal Shelter in Golden, CO.
Our son had been begging for a dog and found Roscoe online while researching rescue dogs available for adoption in our area. After doing a breed check and researching all of Roscoe’s needs as a cattle dog, our kiddo insisted we go directly to the shelter after school to meet him.
Like all good dogs, Roscoe immediately wooed the one family member who was NOT on board with getting a dog. We weren’t the only family interested in this sweet boy, so we placed our names on the waitlist with a $20 deposit and headed home to wait.
The kiddo spent the next 24 hours “manifesting” Roscoe and telling the universe we were the perfect family for him.
Luckily, the universe agreed and at 3pm the next day, we got a call that we were next in line for Roscoe and could pick him up asap. Roscoe came home with us that day and has been a favorite family member ever since. To quote my kiddo, he’s the smartest, sweetest dog in the whole world!
Roscoe is my best bud and can be counted on for long runs, hikes, biking and long neighborhood walks. Along with extended naps inside of my pollinator garden where he squashes all of the plants, he loves “working” at the Pilates studio where he provides moral support, mat warming and balance challenges for clients.
