Meet Rollo

Hi! My name is Rollo and I am looking for a forever home. I was picked up as a stray by animal control and taken to a scary place called a shelter where, after no one came to claim me, I was about to be put on something bad called 'the list". Fortunately for me, BCAA saw me and said they would help me ... yeah! I appear to be standard poodle mixed with maybe a golden, maybe a lab?, but whatever as my foster mom says that once my hair comes back in I will be one handsome dude (I had to be shaved down 'cause my coat was in such a hot mess ... see my "before pic"). When she first took me to the vet, it was discovered under all my hair that I had a pretty nasty wound around my underbelly and side which actually took some stitches (you can see this in a couple of my pics). The other thing they found once I got shaved down was that even though I weighed in at 49lbs, I needed to put on some weight which has turned out to be not such a bad thing as I now get extra kibble in all my meals along with more treats! I'm about 18mos old but act like a young adolescent as I have lots of energy which is a little overwhelming for the other smaller dogs I have met. But don't worry, one-on-one with you I become a cuddle bug and love attention. I've shown a little interest in the cats but so far haven't been aggressive with them. I have done really well in my crate without any accidents or tearing up of my bedding; however, I would really prefer to be out with you and will let you know not to forget about me if I see or hear you. I am ok on leash but will pull some in my excitement on being out and about. If you would like to learn more about me or even better, meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.
