Roger Shepherd Mix Barrington Hills, IL

Roger joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Oklahoma, last year. He’s a very unusual boy…a one-of-a-kind! He’s thought to be a Shepherd Mix, a larger boy of about 75 lbs, estimated to be about 6 years old.

He is friendly, happy, and absolutely LOVES people and the attention that they can provide to him. Due to his size, a family with older children or an all-adult home would be best for Roger.

Because he loves human companionship, a family with a parent who is “stay at home” or works from home would be ideal for Roger! He loves to play, enjoys hanging out in a secure yard, and also enjoys walks (although he continues to perfect his leash-walking skills!). But most of all, he loves attention!!

Roger does fine with other dogs, particularly more submissive, female dogs. He seems to be challenged by male dogs however. So, he’d do best , and really enjoy being an only dog in the home or may warm up to a female companion / playmate!

We’d like to find Roger a family with Shepherd experience (or at least large-dog experience), who knows the quirks of these larger, more dominant dogs. And knows how to channel their energy into positive activities.

Roger is fully vetted, up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention.

If you’d like to meet this interesting, happy, and affectionate boy, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.
