Rolo- In Foster – Scotland
Rolo
Please welcome the very cute Rolo onto his Springboard journey with us
Rolo is only 18 months old and sadly he suffered a catastrophic paralysis as a puppy which coincided with his 2nd vaccinations although no link has been proved
Over the months his family have dedicated their time to rehabilitate Rolo even though on more than 1 occasion, the vet advised them to have this tiny little boy PTS
But sadly, the owners own health issues are making an impact on how much time they can dedicate to their little boy, so they have reached out to us to take him. It’s been heart breaking for them, so please no judgment
Rolo has made remarkable progress over the past 12 months and walks and plays well, but he still has a little way to go as his family have carried him quite a bit. So we need to encourage him to walk more with very short walks to gently build his muscles up
On Wednesday Rolo arrived into foster with Nicola Lepick in Scotland. Nicola is fostering Beau for us at present, so we are very grateful to her for offering to take Rolo as well, thank you very much Nicola
And as it turns out, it’s been the best decision, as Rolo is a bit of a scared boy around humans unless they are down at his level, so he has attached himself to Beau which has made his transition so much easier
He is semi house trained so there are lots of puppy pads down at Nicola’s house and he is having regular trips outside with positive reinforcement – and hopefully he will start to follow Beau’s lead on toileting as well.
Rolo was unsettled the 1st night in foster which is to be expected but over the past couple of days he has started to show his cheeky character and his stubbornness … we think he is going to make Nicola and her husband laugh every day, he is such a sweetie
Earlier today Rolo had his vet check, and we found him to have an eye ulcer, so he has been prescribed eye drops and pain meds. He will return next week for his follow-up.
Once Rolo is settled, he will be neutered but for now, let’s welcome Rolo into the arms of our Springboard Family and we can’t wait to see him blossom and enjoy his new life
This lovely little boy will not be ready for adoption until he is neutered and has finished his assessment so please don’t try and apply for him If you would like to follow Rolo’s journey, please join our community rescue group
