Takes in, as a rescue dog (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adopts

(Other definitions for adopts that I've seen before include "Takes a child into one's family" , "Takes into one's family legally" , "Takes or uses as one's own" , "Assumes (an attitude)" , "Legally takes on (child)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
