This wonderful boy is NOT in the care of the Big Sky Rottweiler Rescue and is being listed as a referral to help with placement into a great home.  Please contact the number at the end of the bios.

Rolo is a 7 month old male, he currently weighs about 65 pounds. He has a rare condition called “hyperostosis calvarial syndrome”, which results in some balance and gait issues. He has a slightly awkward gait and falls down occasionally. He can get himself back up. He can go up the stairs without difficulty, but goes down slowly. He is not a dog for a high activity home as he probably can’t run much and wouldn’t be able to do a lot of hiking, although he enjoys walks. These impairments are mild. The condition is not expected to worsen, but won’t improve either. He has a normal life expectancy. Other information and specifics can be provided to a potential adopter. He also has osteochondritis dessicans of both shoulders. He is having arthroscopy done in a few days to resolve that issue. He is very mellow and friendly to everyone he meets. He is in a foster home and plays great with their dog, and has been great with every dog he has met. He has no interest in the barn cats, and wouldn’t be able to chase them anyway. Has been gentle with the 9 month old grandson and the teenager. He is house trained and crate trained and is learning some basic discipline. An adopter must be able to come to Great Falls, MT to meet him before any adoption is approved. This is not a dog to take on before seeing just exactly how he gets around. Call 406-564-0593.
