Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
When available, all animals are fixed, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped!
From the foster: Roger is a really special pup. Not only because of his highly expressive and absolutely adorable ears, but he needs a really special human to take him in. Due to whatever happened in his past, he is an extremely fearful pup. Amazingly, he's pretty secure and great with other dogs, no matter the size. But he's absolutely terrified of humans. He will not come willingly to you unless you ignore him. If you want to welcome this pup into your home, you will need to have the patience and love to allow him to come to you on his own terms. Due to his fear, he will not go on a walk with you and will try to escape if he is on a leash. You will need to earn his trust -- likely over several weeks -- before walking on a leash might become a possibility. He is treat-motivated, and we've had success in getting him to take a treat out of our hands before he runs off.
But Roger is also FULL of personality. He is bright, naturally curious, and his endearing little pitter-patter around your home will brighten your day. He deserves a great home!
We have a 60lb lab mix and two small chihuahua mixes, he's gotten along great with all of them. One of the chihuahuas has been making him play and he's reciprocated quite well!
In one very experienced foster home they have 6 and 8 year old kids, he's been very shy, but hasn't shown any negative behavior towards the kids. If you have children they should be old enough to know to leave Roger alone until he is at a place that he can trust you.
He's mostly crate trained, but gets a little lonely when he doesn’t have humans around. He slept in his crate at night in our bedroom and slept through the night. He did have a couple accidents when he first came to us (new environments are always tough!) but has had amazing success pottying outside when given lots of chances to go outside. He has a very sweet demeanor and will thrive when we finds a patient forever family that will show him what love and cuddles are really about!
