Meet Roscoe

A resilient three-legged hound whose spirit and speed will amaze you on every walk.

Roscoe lost his front left leg to an injury before arriving at Asheville Humane, but do not tell him that! He runs, romps, and navigates steps with total confidence. He is gentle, soulful, and an absolute cuddlebug on the sofa.
