About Roger

Roger is a big, cuddly couch potato looking for his forever home. This 75-pound, 2-year-old shepherd mix loves nothing more than naps and cuddle sessions, accompanied by plenty of booty skritches. With his light eyes and one ear always perked up, his face is simply irresistible. Though he's tall and lovable, Roger can be timid, particularly around strangers, so a home without children is ideal for him. He’s had training and coaching, but he just isn't comfortable around kids. He brightens up with a big “smile” when his grown-ups arrive, and he firmly believes he’s a lap dog despite his size. Roger enjoys the company of other dogs and is house trained and crate trained, showing good manners on a leash. He’s fully vetted, including neutering, microchipping, and up-to-date vaccinations. Roger is ready to bring his snuggly, loving spirit into a kid-free home where he can truly thrive. His local adoption fee is $300 for those within the Memphis, TN tristate area. For out-of-state adoptions, the fee is $600, which includes transportation. Start your journey with Roger today!
