Meet Rollo!
A spirited four-and-a-half-year-old Australian Shepherd currently living in Asheville, NC, whose vibrant energy and striking red tricolor coat make him as unforgettable as a mountain sunrise. With his keen eyes and trademark herding breed intelligence, Rollo is the kind of companion who knows when it’s time to play and when it’s time to curl up beside you for a heart-melting cuddle session.
Rollo’s days are best spent with purpose whether it’s chasing after a ball, engaging in a competitive round of tug-of-war, or proudly carrying a rawhide bone around like a trophy! He’s house- and crate-trained, knows commands like sit, stay, off, and calm, and responds beautifully to clear, consistent communication. He’s also eager to learn more, which means positive reinforcement training sessions will be as rewarding for you as they are for him!
Like most Australian Shepherds, Rollo thrives on daily exercise and mental stimulation. A home with a fenced yard or easy access to open spaces would be a dream come true, giving him room to stretch his legs, explore, and engage his natural instincts. He’s selective with other dogs but has lived peacefully with a child and cats, though the latter might occasionally inspire a playful chase. Rollo’s heart truly belongs to those who can match his active spirit while offering the calm, structured environment he needs to shine.
While his enthusiasm sometimes leads to pulling on leash or barking when overstimulated, especially at passing dogs or delivery trucks, his affectionate nature is unshakable. He’ll happily keep you company on hikes, watch the world go by from the porch, or settle next to you on the couch, radiating warmth like a living, breathing blanket. Fireworks and loud noises might ruffle him, but your reassurance will go a long way toward restoring his confidence.
Healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, Rollo is ready to bring joy, laughter, and boundless companionship to the right guardian. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent partner who will be your adventure buddy and your soft place to land at the end of the day, Rollo is ready to meet you!
