Roscoe is our Mutt Monday dog this week and he is looking for his fur-ever home. Roscoe is a striking boy with his beautifully colored coat. He is always ready for a game of fetch and loves to go for long walks. Roscoe recently greeted the runners at Run Fest and gave lots of kisses to encourage them! He can’t wait to find his forever home…could that be you? Roscoe is 3 year old, 48 pound Catahoula Leopard Dog mix.

Every Monday we highlight a dog that is available for adoption at Pet Pal Animal Shelter. Lucky is our Mutt Monday dog this week and he is available at Pet Pal Animal Shelter in St. Pete. Pet Pal’s Mission Statement is, “Our mission is to rescue dogs and cats from shelters that may otherwise be euthanized due to time limitations, illness, injuries or lack of socialization and training.
