About Rolo

Meet Rolo! Rolo is a big, loving boy with a lot of affection to share. After spending nearly two years with a family, he suddenly found himself abandoned at a shelter and now spends his days alone in his kennel, not allowed to meet new adopters. Despite this tough break, Rolo’s gentle nature shines through. He has moderate energy—he’ll happily play but is just as content to hang out at your side and relax. Rolo can’t resist jumping into a pool if he spots one, and walks are his favorite activity. However, he’s pretty strong, so some consistent leash work would help him out. He’s fully house-trained and crate-trained, so you won’t have to worry about accidents. You’ll want to leave the vacuum and garden hose in the closet when he’s around—they aren’t his favorite. Rolo has a high prey drive and must be in a home without any small animals like cats or rabbits. He also wants to be your one and only dog, getting all the attention for himself. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who deserves a real second chance, Rolo is waiting in Valley Stream, NY. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
