Adopt Playful Yorkie: Rolo
Rolo
🐶 Meet Rolo – A Friendly and Affectionate Companion Ready for Belly Rubs!
If you are looking to adopt a Yorkshire Terrier in Cape Town, meet Rolo! This handsome 7-year-old boy is currently located in Athlone and is searching for a loving forever home. Rolo's current owner has a very demanding job with frequent travel, which means this sweet boy isn't getting the time, attention, and companionship he truly deserves. Rolo is a slightly larger, sturdy Yorkie boy weighing in at around 9kg, and he has an absolutely golden heart.
Rolo is incredibly friendly, playful, and completely devoted to his humans. He absolutely loves receiving affection and will happily roll over to demand his favorite treat: belly rubs! He has mostly lived as an indoor dog, making him a wonderful, cozy companion. Rolo walks comfortably on a leash and is fully house-trained, making his transition into a new home much smoother. While he is generally easy to handle, Rolo does experience some separation anxiety and can be a bit of a needy boy. He would be best suited to a home where someone is around for the majority of the time to offer him the reassurance and companionship he craves.
Rolo has lived a quiet life with limited exposure to other pets and young children, he will require slow, careful, and patient introductions to any potential furry siblings or kids. He is not an excessive barker, but he will politely let you know when visitors arrive or when he hears unfamiliar noises at night. Rolo is ready to pack up his favorite beds, bowls, toys, and food to start his next chapter with you!
