Rolo - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Franklin, Tennessee

Meet Rolo — the golden-eyed boy with a heart of gold!

At just 7 months old and 38 lbs., Rolo is the kind of puppy that makes you wonder how anyone could ever let him go.

This handsome chocolate-colored boy was found abandoned and brought to a rural shelter. Sadly, we learned that Rolo had originally been advertised as free on social media. Someone took him home, kept him for a short time, and then abandoned him.

But Rolo hasn’t let his past change his beautiful spirit.

When we visited the shelter, we were immediately drawn to his stunning golden eyes. The moment we sat down on the ground, Rolo climbed right into our laps for cuddles. We knew right then that this boy was something special.

And as we’ve gotten to know him, he’s only become more amazing!

Rolo is truly the total package:
House trained AND crate trained!
Wonderful with dogs, cats, kids, and people of all ages!
Incredibly loving, affectionate, and eager to please!
Smart as can be — already knows “sit” and politely sits for his meals!
Playful, sweet, and an all-around fantastic pup!

Rolo has everything you could hope for in a companion, except the one thing he deserves most: a family who will love him and never give up on him.

He’s already experienced being unwanted and abandoned in his short life. We want to make sure the next time Rolo goes home, it’s FOREVER.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about this boy. He’s truly a little gem, and whoever adopts him is going to be incredibly lucky.

Could Rolo be your perfect match?

Let’s give Rolo the happily ever after he’s been waiting for!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
