Rollo is an active and extremely loving dog. He loves to play with any and all toys, run around outside with you, and play fetch with balls and frisbees. He is all for snuggling up with you and getting lots of love. He loves to cuddle and lay his head on you. Going for a walk is a favorite and he greets everyone he meets with excitement. Having a fenced in yard is ideal so he can be let out whenever he wants to run around. If the sun is out, he wants to be outside, even if it's just him laying in the sun for a nice nap.
Rollo does well being left home alone and does not require a crate. He does get anxious and cry when you're about to leave, but calms down after you're gone. He has never chewed up or scratched anything in the house.
He snuggles up in his dog bed for bed at night and loves having a fleece blanket with him.
He knows basic commands and will do them as many times as you want for some treats. He is all for training and being put to work.
Rollo loves kids and babies and has never had issues with them.
Rollo would do best in a home with no dogs. He is very reactive with dogs and his dominant behavior turns aggressive, which is why we need to re-home him. He has been aggressive with our other dogs and for all of their sake, it is best he finds a home where he can be the only dog.
