My husband adopted a dog last week from the San Diego County humane society. We have been looking for weeks at different facilities. We even brought our eight-year-old dog in to meet other dogs at times. No other dog clicked with us the way this one did. We had an excellent experience with the staff at the Escondido location. When I met Rolo, he was in a cage with two other dogs. His hair was so badly matted that he couldn’t see out of his eyes. But he was happy, perky, and a very sweet dog. 
This dog can play tug harder than any other dog I played with. He is destroying the dog toys. And suddenly my eight-year-old dog, who only gets excited about fetch, wants to play with all the toys he has ignored for years.
Oh my goodness gracious, adorable!
He has freckles! Rolo asleep, enough said.
This is Rolo biting his foot.

This is Rolos first time in our car. He was very excited! He was climbing behind me in the driver seat. He is the first dog I have ever met that thinks jumping behind people on a bed or chair is the right way to get up. Our first impressions of having Rolo this first week is that we are happy to have him. He’s having a good life here. We are darn good doggie parents!
Rolo is a very loving dog. Sadly, in his past, it’s obvious that someone has abused him. He runs away when we’re standing up. The first couple days with us, he ran under the bed to hide. He definitely does not like spray bottles, because he runs away from the sight of those too. He’s afraid of loud noises. He’s jumpy and scared. We can tell that he spent some time as a stray, as he has “Street Smarts”.
Now, onto the next adventure!
