Safe Haven of Iowa County

Introducing Roscoe, a resilient and loving boy with a heart of gold. This handsome 5-year-old (best guesstimate) is likely a blend of Border Collie and Australian Shepherd, and his intelligence and determination shine through. Roscoe's journey to us was a difficult one; he was found as a local stray with a severely injured hind leg and was also very malnourished. Thanks to the immediate medical care and TLC he has received, Roscoe has made incredible progress over the last several weeks since his initial arrival.

To give him the best chance at a healthy, pain-free life, the difficult but necessary decision was made to amputate his injured leg. Roscoe has since recovered beautifully and has shown just how tough and adaptable he is. He's been showered with the medical care and TLC he desperately needed, and we're so proud of how far he has come.

Roscoe is officially ready for his next chapter—and he is more than ready to find his forever family. He has a lot of love to give and is looking for a home where he can be cherished. While he gets along with people famously, he can be a bit reactive towards other dogs, so a proper introduction would need to be scheduled to ensure a good fit.

Despite his past, Roscoe remains a very good boy with a determined spirit and a joyful outlook on life. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will inspire you with his resilience and shower you with affection, Roscoe is your guy. He's ready for his next adventure—will it be with you?

Please submit an adoption application for Roscoe if you're interested in meeting him. These applications can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in touch to discuss the next steps of scheduling a meet & greet.
