About Rollo

Rollo is the definition of a big, friendly goofball. He’s happiest when he can dash around the play yard with his dog friends and loves spending time outdoors, especially on long walks. Rollo adores treats, is proud of his command repertoire—sit, stay, paw, down, come, and "find it"—and is always eager to please, especially if food is involved. Don’t be fooled by his size; he’ll happily settle in your lap for movie marathons or curl up beside you on the couch for game nights. He’s at his best in a laid-back, quiet home without a lot of noise or chaos, as crowds and commotion make him uneasy. Rollo has enjoyed time with other well-matched, friendly dogs, but small dogs just aren’t his thing. He does best as the only dog or with other compatible, medium-to-large dogs. Cats are off the table, though—he’s much too interested in them. For families, he’s good with kids over 10 and is fully house trained. Born on April 7, Rollo is an Aries, which shines through in his playful, adventurous streak. Rollo is vaccinated and neutered, ready for a home in Aldie, VA.
