About Roger

Roger is currently in his foster home in Memphis, TN, but he will be transported to New Jersey once adopted. If you're looking for a big, cuddly couch potato, Roger is your guy! Weighing in at 75 pounds, this 2-year-old shepherd mix loves nothing more than a good nap and some quality cuddle time. His irresistible face features light eyes and one ear that always perks up with curiosity. Though he’s tall and sturdy, he's a bit shy around strangers and is seeking a kid-free forever home as he’s shown that he’s not comfortable around children. The happiest and snuggliest boy you’ll meet, he greets his humans with a “smile” when they walk through the door. Don’t even think about telling him he’s not a lap dog; he thinks he is! Roger gets along well with other dogs and is house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He is fully vetted, with spay/neuter, microchip, rabies, and all vaccinations up to date. His adoption fee is covered, which includes transport to NJ. Apply today to give Roger the loving home he deserves!
