About Rock & Roland

Rock & Roland are a truly bonded pair of retriever mixes who have spent every day together since puppyhood. Nearly five years old, they shared their previous home with a loving human who had to make the painful decision to rehome them due to health issues. Their attachment to each other runs deep; wherever one goes, the other follows. They do everything side by side—play, sleep, provide comfort, and seek affection. These brothers are gentle, sweet-natured, and clever. They are known for being wonderful with children and other dogs, showing patience and kindness. Both are neutered, vaccinated, and house-trained. Life with these two means rarely being alone; if you sit, they’ll be at your feet, and if you move, they’ll be right behind you. Rock, with a wire coat and fluffier appearance, sometimes gets a little nervous but finds reassurance by snuggling close or curling up under a chair, always with Roland nearby to steady him. They love running in the yard, snuggling on the couch, and belly rubs are a favorite treat. Food isn’t a problem—these guys appreciate everything from dry kibble to baked chicken. Their former owner described them as a daily source of joy and comfort. They must be adopted together, and their ideal family is one ready for double the affection, double the loyalty, and double the companionship. Their birthday puts them under Gemini—fitting for such a harmonious duo. If you can offer a safe and loving home, Rock & Roland are ready to fill it with heart. Adoption is in Richmond, TX.
