My story

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

Roscoe is so adorable with his short little legs. He is a sweet and friendly boy who will give you kisses. Roscoe is wonderful with people and good with other dogs. He also likes to play and run around in the yard. We do not know his feelings about cats. While in another shelter, as Roscoe was being walked, he was suddenly attacked by another dog for no reason anyone could see. Roscoe, not having a mean bone in him, did not even try to fight back. He was then brought to the vet where his wounds were cleaned and he was placed on antibiotic. Roscoe's physical wounds are healing and he would love to go home where he could just get lots of love, toys, treats and a nice soft bed to rest on. His "wounds" are of the more emotional type now - he is more cautious and until he gets to know you, does not like anyone in his space for too long (like long hugs/kisses or rushing at him) so a home without young kids who do not understand this is preferred. Roscoe is about 50-55 pounds and 3 years old. Please help Roscoe find the loving home he deserves.

Update: Roscoe tested positive for Ehrlicchia, another tick borne disease similar to Lyme's. He has completed his course of oral antibiotic and is feeling great. Roscoe is currently available for adoption!

We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat. Applicants must live within a 2 hour radius from Sparta/Andover (07871/07821).

Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes.

If you are interested in adopting, we encourage you to please submit an application on our website today so that we can try and process and pre-approve any potential adopters prior to our next adoption event.

PLEASE USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. WE ONLY ACCEPT ADOPTION APPLICATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. ANY OTHERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

Roscoe's adoption fee is $400. This covers all their age-appropriate shots, microchipping and vetting.

**If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing.
