About Roger

He loves playing fetch and has the perfect blend of playful and relaxed energy; he can fetch a ball or lounge on the couch for a movie night. Roger is great with other dogs once he’s comfortable around them, though he initially prefers human company. He was found as a stray, so his house training isn't confirmed.
