About Rolo

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Rolo is a big, loving terrier mix with a huge heart and plenty of affection to offer! After nearly two years in a home, he was sadly surrendered and has spent his days waiting in a kennel, unable to meet new people. Rolo is known for his moderate energy—enjoying spirited playtime but equally happy to relax right by your side. He’s a water enthusiast who won't hesitate to splash into any pool he spots! This boy loves his daily walks, although his strength means ongoing leash training will be beneficial. He’s both house-trained and crate-trained, making him easy to welcome into your home. While vacuums, mops, and garden hoses aren’t his favorite, his loyalty and affection more than make up for it. Because of his high prey drive, Rolo must join a home free of small animals, including cats and rabbits. He also thrives best as the only dog in the household where he can be the center of attention. Born on October 28, Rolo is a determined Scorpio—filled with passion, loyalty, and a spirited nature. Give this sweet boy a chance and discover the loving companion he’s ready to be for the right family. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
