Rodger's Story

🐾👑 All Hail King Rodger! 👑🐾<br/><br/>Everyone, please take a moment to appreciate the glow-up of the year… Rodger, our 12-year-old, 12-pound Shih Tzu, who recently found himself in a shelter but is now living the royal life in foster care.<br/><br/>Just look at these before and after grooming photos — isn’t he just the cutest little gentleman? 🥹✂️<br/><br/>A huge thank you to his wonderful fosters, Lynn and Lauren, for taking such great care of him and helping him look and feel his best.<br/><br/>Now… let’s discuss King Rodger’s official requirements for his forever kingdom:<br/><br/>👑 Security is a must. If a door opens, Rodger believes it’s his personal invitation to scoot out and explore. Puppy gates will definitely be required.<br/><br/>👑 Spa days. Routine grooming is part of maintaining his handsome Shih Tzu look. Some attention to skin and ear care will also keep this distinguished gentleman feeling his best.<br/><br/>👑 Health matters. Rodger is actually pretty healthy for a 12-year-old! He does have luxating patellas, so a joint supplement will help keep him comfortable.<br/><br/>👑 Companionship required. Rodger loves to be near his people and is a professional blanket burrower. If there’s a cozy blanket nearby, he will absolutely be underneath it.<br/><br/>👑 Emotional support specialist. Rodger also loves curling up with other pups and providing comfort — he’s quite the little snuggle therapist.<br/><br/>👑 Communication skills. Rodger has definitely found his voice and uses it wisely for important announcements such as:<br/>• “You left the room. Please return immediately.”<br/>• “Excuse me, I require another snack.”<br/>• “Dinner seems delayed… what’s the hold up?”<br/><br/>And speaking of dining… His Majesty’s favorite cuisine is Fresh Pet Tender Recipes. 🍽️<br/><br/>So if you’re looking to welcome a tiny royal into your home and are ready to meet the needs of King Rodger, you just might be the perfect forever family for him.<br/><br/>Long live Rodger! 👑🐾
