Rolo

Rolo's ideal home

Rolo is a lovely young lad, around 2 years old, looking for a home where he can thrive and enjoy lots of exercise and fun. He has lived with a cat before so could join a home with an existing cat, who is used to being around bouncy dogs who love to play! He would need to live in an adult home, and although he doesn't want to share his home with a dog, he could have canine chums outside of the home for walks and playtime. He enjoys traveling in the car, so would be a fun addition on days out, and once he's settled, he will be content to be left for a couple of hours.
Please note that you won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can tell us what type of dog you’re looking for. You can also add up to four favourites to your application to give us an idea of the dogs you like, so we can consider you for similar dogs. Once you’ve submitted your application, we can’t change or update your favourites. Adding a dog to your application is not a reservation but a guide for us to find you a match.

Could you be Rolo's perfect match?

Rolo came into us due to his family finding him too bouncy and energetic, and is looking for a home that can keep up with his energy and playfulness! He will need regular walks and would enjoy running off lead in either his own garden or a secure outdoor environment, and if tennis balls are involved, he will be in his element. He loves to chase balls, but can get a little obsessive with them, particularly if they roll under a sofa where he can't get them, so he needs adopters happy to retrieve his toys and who are up for lots of play! He also loves to steal personal belongings, especially socks and he has been known to become a little possessive around these items at times, so adopters who have some experience with guarding would be beneficial, although this behaviour can be managed well. He gets super excited when his lead and harness come out and just loves to ride in the car, looking out of the windows, so would really enjoy going to new and interesting places for walks and sniffs. Rolo knows some of his basic commands and would love to learn more, and being very fond of his food and tasty treats, he will be a fun boy to teach as he's a clever little chap and picks new things up quickly. When he's not busy doing doggy things, he's a really affectionate boy and will definitely want to climb up onto your sofa and lap for some snuggles. Could you offer Rolo the loving home he's looking for?
