My story

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

Please contact Melissa A Aten (melissaa@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Hound dogs are the best dogs!

ROSCOE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name: Roscoe        Best Guess for Breed: Hound, Foxhound Mix   

Best Guess for Age:  4 years as of December 2024        Gender: Male

Approximate Weight: 50lbs as of December 2024

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen Roscoe with cats or kids but he can be tested.

Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter; needs DC area foster or adopter

Special Adoption Considerations: Roscoe is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. 

We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!

Roscoe is Looking For: Hi! I'm Roscoe, and I'm the best good boy. I'm so grateful to receive treatment for these pesky heartworms! Once I've recovered, I can't wait to find a forever home. I'd love to find someone who take me on lots of walks and sniffy adventures so I can exercise my hound nose. I'd absolutely love the chance to romp and play and run and be silly with other pups too. Oh, and I also look forward to being spoiled rotten---belly rubs, treats, snuggles---I want them all! What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for this hound dog?

What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
