Meet Roger the Rottie mix. He is absolutely adorable, so happy to have someone pay attention to him. We got him from a local kill shelter. A dog this beautiful simply shouldn't be in a kill shelter! He should be romping around in a back yard with his family, and that is exactly what we are looking for!


Roger is very sweet and loves attition. I took him with me ( stephanie) to Last sat adoption in sanford. He was very well behaved. I wish my 2 at home could pick up on his mannors. He sits stays and walks nicely on a leash. He enjoys cars rides and other dogs. He is very plesent to walk around where other dogs will be he does not try to pull and wine to go say hi to all of them. He would love a couch to watch tv on, and a back yard to discover new things in. Roger is a well tempered, clam, playfull dog in need of a new family to love.
