Rolo, an 8-week-old puppy with a puzzling mix of features, is capturing hearts after a remarkable recovery.

Found in an unhoused community by an individual who had witnessed him being dragged, Rolo’s future initially looked bleak. However, after several weeks of care at a local vet’s office, the resilient pup is now on his way to finding a forever home.

Despite early fears of severe injuries, Rolo’s wounds turned out to be superficial, and he emerged from the ordeal without lasting effects.

His caretakers credit his foster — a vet tech who has been providing Rolo with round-the-clock attention — for his swift recovery.

With no confirmed breed yet (his DNA test results are still pending), Rolo looks like a miniature German shepherd — possibly mixed with a Chihuahua.

He’s proven himself to be a happy, energetic pup who’s comfortable around both big and small dogs.
