Rolo - Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Shorewood, Illinois

ROLO: THE ROLLS HAVE ROLLS!
Approximately 3 years old Female Bulldog Professional Snacker

Allow us to introduce you to Rolo, a girl who truly believes that if one roll is good, more rolls are better.

This stout little meatball has rolls on her rolls, a personality bigger than her body, and a heart that is approximately 14 sizes too big for her little Bulldog frame.

Rolo came to us from animal control after someone discarded her because of a horrible tail pocket infection. We couldn't let that be the end of her story.

We had the remainder of her tail surgically removed, treated that nasty infection, and got her spayed so her days of being someone's breeding machine are officially OVER.

Now she's ready for the fun part: FINDING HER FOREVER FAMILY!

And what exactly do you get when you adopt a Rolo?

A professional cuddler
A dedicated food enthusiast
A little shy girl who warms up beautifully
A mischievous little troublemaker
A serious people lover
A dog-friendly Bulldog
A cat-friendly Bulldog
A kid-friendly Bulldog
A kennel-trained Bulldog
And approximately 87 adorable wrinkles

Rolo is also working hard on her potty training and leash skills. She's come a long way, but she'll need someone willing to keep the training going with patience, structure, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement.

And let's talk about those glorious wrinkles.

Being a Bulldog means Rolo's adorable folds don't take care of themselves. Her skin folds need daily maintenance to keep yeast and infections away. It's not difficult, but it IS something her future family needs to commit to.

Basically, Rolo is looking for someone who understands that Bulldogs are a little bit high maintenance, a little bit ridiculous, and 100% worth it.

She may need some extra work, but in exchange, you'll get a loyal little shadow who will happily follow you around, supervise your meals, steal your heart, and probably judge you from the couch.

Rolo has already had someone give up on her.

She's looking for the person who says, "You're mine. We're in this for life."

She'll bring the rolls.
She'll bring the snorts.
She'll bring the personality.
You bring the patience, love, and snacks.

ROLO IS READY FOR HER FOREVER HOME!
