Roger

Meet Roger, the blue heeler mix who puts the “go” in on the go. At 4 years old and 38 pounds of muscle, brains, and enthusiasm, Roger is basically the personal trainer you didn’t know you needed — minus the gym fees and awkward small talk.<br/><br/>He’s got all the best heeler traits: sharp mind, unstoppable energy, and loyalty that runs deep. And here’s the twist that makes him extra special — Roger is deaf. But don’t let that fool you. He doesn’t hear commands… he reads vibes. (And maybe a few hand signals.) Honestly, it just means he’s that much better at tuning out nonsense and focusing on what matters — playtime, snuggles, and snacks.<br/><br/>Roger’s not your average working dog — his two differently colored eyes make him look like he’s perpetually starring in his own action movie. He’s a treadmill champ, herding ball pro, and pool enthusiast. (Yes, he cross-trains.)<br/><br/>Roger’s ideal home? One that can keep up with his fitness routine and appreciates a dog who believes cardio is a lifestyle, not a suggestion. But when the day winds down, he’s all about that post-workout snuggle life.<br/><br/>He’s neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has tested negative for heartworm and tick disease. If your idea of a perfect weekend involves sunshine, movement, and a four-legged workout buddy with style (and selective hearing in the most literal sense), Roger’s ready to run into your life — silently but enthusiastically.<br/><br/>Want to meet him?
