Roger

Hi! I’m Roger, and I’m back at MLRR looking for my forever family! 🏡❤️ My new mom and dad decided it was best for me to come back to MLRR and find a new family, so here I am! 

🐶 Life in My Foster Home

I’m thriving in my foster home! There are three other MLRR dogs here, and I’m learning a lot from their leadership. In fact, one of the biggest changes foster mom has seen since I arrived is my confidence. I’m settling in, learning the routine, and becoming more comfortable every day.

Foster mom says I’m pretty remarkable for my age. I’m housebroken, I go potty as soon as I get outside, and I’m not interested in chewing up her belongings. I get along great with other dogs and people, although I haven’t met any small children yet.

🎾 Let's Talk About BALLS!

Did I mention that I LOVE balls? 🎾

I haven’t quite figured out the “bring it back” part of fetch yet. Instead, I prefer to parade around with my ball and shove it in the other dogs’ faces, just to make sure they understand that I have a ball and THEY DO NOT. 😂

🚗 Adventures & Walks

Car rides are one of my favorite things! I settle down as soon as we get going and really like it when I can lay my head on your lap. Foster mom says I’m a great little traveler, and we’ve been enjoying trips to the pet store together. 🛍️

I’m also working hard on my leash manners. I still pull when I get excited, but we practice every day and I’m learning that walks are more enjoyable when I don’t try to lead the expedition. 🐕

🏠 Crate Training & Home Life

My crate training has improved a lot, too! I’ll even wander into my open crate on my own sometimes.

Foster mom works from home, and my crate is in her office, so I get to practice relaxing in it while she’s nearby. I also get the BEST frozen Kongs in there, so I’m starting to think my crate is a pretty great place to be. 🦴

Because I’m only 5 months old, foster mom hasn’t left me home alone yet, so we don’t know how I’ll handle being by myself. For now, I’m happiest hanging out with my people and the other dogs.

At night, I sleep in bed with foster mom and the pack, which is pretty much heaven for me because I loooooove to cuddle. 🥰

If snuggling were an Olympic sport, I’m pretty sure I’d medal. 🥇

🐾 I'm Still Learning!

Like any puppy, I still have a few things to work on.

I get very excited when I meet new people and am learning not to jump up for attention. I get excited at mealtime, too, so we’re practicing staying calm while my dinner is being prepared. 🍽️

I occasionally try a little counter surfing, but a firm “NO” is usually all it takes to redirect me.

I’ll bark when the doorbell rings or when new people first enter the house, but I respond well to a firm “NO” and quiet down. 🔔

❤️ My Perfect Forever Home

I’m still a puppy, so I need a family that understands I’m a work in progress and will keep teaching me all the things a good grown-up dog needs to know.

A home where someone is around much of the day would be ideal while I’m young and continuing my crate training and learning how to be comfortable spending time on my own.

I’ve had more changes in my first five months than most dogs have in years, but I’m still a happy, affectionate, playful little guy.

What I need now is some stability, lots of love, and a family who will keep teaching me how to be the very best boy I can be.

If you’re looking for a best friend for life, I’m your guy. I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾❤️
