More about Rolo

Meet Your New Adventure Buddy This handsome 8-month-old Shepherd/Collie mix is a sensitive sweetheart who just needs a little time to shine. He can be shy at first and may feel unsure about new people or new situations, but give him a few hours and you’ll see his true personality blossom. Once he feels safe, he adjusts beautifully and bonds quickly with his people.  And when he bonds — he really bonds. He’s a super snuggler who loves being close and will even flash you the most adorable smile when he’s happy. It’s the kind of smile that melts hearts instantly. Trying new things (like hopping into the car or going into a crate) may take a little encouragement at first. But once he understands what’s expected, he settles right in and does great. He sleeps soundly through the night and is fairly well housebroken, though he has had a few accidents when startled or scared.  He’s an energetic young guy who LOVES to play — especially with other dogs. In fact, he would thrive in a home with an equally energetic, playful canine companion who can help him build confidence and burn off that youthful energy. Toys are a big hit too, and a ball is absolutely his favorite! Like many adolescent dogs his age, he can be a bit mouthy when he’s excited. The good news? He’s very easy to redirect to a toy. Because of this behavior, he’d do best in a home with older kids (say over 10 years old). This sweet boy is looking for a patient, loving family who understands that confidence grows with time and encouragement. In return, you’ll get loyalty, playful fun, warm snuggles, and that irresistible happy grin.
