My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Location: Scottsville, VA

My name is Roscoe. What's yours?

I’m a happy, sweet guy and they say I’m a bulldog mix around 9-10 years of age. I love car rides, running, playing with toys and back scratches! I’m also crate trained, sleep through the night and know basic commands like sit and lie down!

I would love to have a home as I age. My joints bother me from time to time so I’m on a small dose pain meds and cosequin. Exercise helps my joints loosen up so daily running and playing with my toys seem to help me feel like a young kid again!

Do you like going on long walks?

I love them! I love human companions, snuggling and kisses. I just wish I had a family of my own. Volunteers here at Finally Home love playing with me and taking me on hikes!

Due to the fact that I wasn’t properly socialized as a younger dog, other animals scare and confuse me so I’m dog selective and need to be the only animal in the home. It’s not my fault but it’s held me back as I have been searching for my forever home for over two years. I hope that there is still the perfect person out there looking for a special dog like me to love and we can grow older together!

Roscoe is: *UTD on shots *Neutered *Current on flea and tick and heartworm medication.

More about this rescue

Ring Dog Rescue is a 501c3 pit bull rescue organization based out of Richmond, Virginia. Our focus is on the rescue, rehabilitation and long term placement of pit bull-type dogs in our region, as well as on the continued and ongoing education of the general public on the true character of these dogs and their role in altering the current societal perception. In 2009, Ring Dog Rescue placed 87 dogs in loving, permanent homes across Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington D.C., New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, representing a 26% increase in dogs adopted from 2008. Our dogs come from various sources, including local kill-shelters, as strays or even as removals from neglectful situations. Our dogs are provided full and complete medical care, including spay and neuter, vaccines, microchips and remediation of any ailments the dog may suffer, placed in foster homes, taught to be a family dog and then placed in an adoptive home, after a thorough screening process.
