Hello! My name is Rosco (Paws in the Pen)!
Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:
- Rosco is soon to be "paw-roled" from our Paws in the Pen program in partnership with the New Mexico Corrections Department! Each dog is paired with inmate trainers and enrolled in an 8-week training program designed to provide a solid foundation of skills to help them succeed in their new home. These dogs graduate potty trained, crate trained, and with a long list of cues and basic behaviors. To help ensure a successful adoption, adopters receive four training sessions to learn what their dog knows, along with an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. Every dog also goes home with a biothane leash and collar, six months of heartworm prevention, is fully up to date on vaccines and medications, and is spayed or neutered.
Rosco is a 10-month-old Cattle Dog with a zest for life and a permanent sense of adventure.
This handsome young guy is always ready to get out and do something. Long walks? Count him in. Exploring new places? Absolutely. One of Rosco's favorite things is playing with other dogs, and he has an adorable habit of launching himself into the air in excitement during play, making every romp as entertaining to watch as it is for him.
Like many young Cattle Dogs, Rosco is smart, active, and happiest when he has an outlet for both his mind and body. Through the Paws in the Pen program, he's building the skills and manners needed to match his enthusiasm, giving him a great foundation for success in his future home.
Rosco is looking for an active family that enjoys spending time outdoors and wants a dog who will happily tag along for every adventure. Whether you're hiking a trail or simply exploring the neighborhood, Rosco is ready to be your sidekick.
If you're searching for a fun-loving companion with a playful spirit, an adventurous heart, and a goofy play style that's guaranteed to make you smile, Rosco may be the perfect match.
If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.
