Fun Dog, Roger That for B101.7’s Pet of the Week

Weekly, B101.7 features a pet available for adoption from the Humane Society of West Alabama. Fun, frisky, and full of life! Anyone need a personal trainer? We have a dog you should meet!

Introducing Roger, a 1 to 1 ½ year old male Labrador Retriever and Greyhound mix. He is solid black with a lean, leggy build and the slim face and ears of a Greyhound. Roger only weighs 42 pounds and really is in pretty good shape. He is just a very lean dog.

Roger was pulled from our local animal shelter, where he had been picked up by Animal Control and no one came to claim him. This poor dog had been down there for almost 4 months!! Because he was always in such good health and so sweet he survived being down there for so long. The Humane Society decided it was time to get sweet Roger out!

Roger is a very social, loving dog. He does have some energy and gets very excited on first meeting. He loves to run and boy, can he run! Once you get some of that energy out of him, he settles down and just wants to be with you. Roger is very playful and good with other dogs. He will be great with children, just maybe not little ones due to his size and being a bit jumpy. Roger will require a fenced yard.

The Humane Society has started crate training. Roger is up to date on his vet care, neutered, heartworm negative and is microchipped. He is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Please don’t let the “black dog syndrome” keep you from adopting this dog! He has such a great personality that you simply must see in person!

If you are interested in giving Roger the forever home she wants and deserves contact the Humane Society of West Alabama. The website is HumaneSocietyOfWA.org or reach them by phone at 205-554-0011.
