Our TDR Dog of the Week is a gentle companion whose personality opens up with a little time and trust.
That ear gets your attention first. One stands tall, the other takes a more relaxed approach. Together, they give Rodger a look that is entirely his own.
But his SPCA of Texas profile offers a better reason to linger: a gentle, thoughtful dog who grows more playful as he gets comfortable with you. Some friendships begin with instant enthusiasm. Others become something lovely when you give them room.
A companion at his own pace
According to SPCA of Texas, Rodger enjoys walks, exploring at his own pace, and quiet time with people who help him feel safe. Once he knows you, his goofy side comes through.
That is the appeal of this week’s dog: not a promise that every moment will be effortless, but the possibility of a friendship built on patience, familiarity, and a place to belong.
