My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Meet Roger – Your Future Best Friend, Security Detail, and Personal Comedian**

Roger has been waiting *way* too long for someone to realize he's basically the total package wrapped in fur. Born around December 1, 2023, this Dutch Shepherd/Lab mix has it all: brains, looks, personality, and an award-winning smile that could charm the socks off a cat (not that he's tried… yet).

Roger is a social butterfly with a goofy streak and a heart of gold. He LOVES people and lives for attention—belly rubs, ear scritches, compliments on how handsome he is (he *knows*, but he likes hearing it). If you’re holding a treat, congratulations—you just became his new favorite human. And possibly his legal next of kin.

He’s fast, smart, and ready to learn pretty much anything you throw at him—except maybe how to resist the urge to be your shadow. Whether you're walking, working, or just trying to go to the bathroom alone…Roger is here for emotional support (and snack supervision).

Roger does well with large dogs and polite kids. He’s also okay with some small dogs—let’s just say he’s not entirely sold on those feisty little floofs who think they’re the boss of him. (Roger politely disagrees.) For his comfort, he should be fed separately—we all have our quirks, and his is wanting to enjoy dinner without worrying another pet will try to heist it.

House? Apartment? Yurt? He’s flexible, as long as he’s got enough affection and a soft place to land, preferably your couch, but he'll settle for a soft dog bed ;).

Roger has been waiting over a year for his shot at forever. That’s a *whole year* of smiling at strangers, wagging his tail, and wondering what more he has to do—wear a tuxedo? Learn interpretive dance? Don’t make him go that far. Just meet him.

Your shadow, your sidekick, your sunshine—Roger is ready. Are you?

More about this rescue

Hope Ranch Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit organization; obtained our 501(c)3 in 2011 - ID #27-0810495
​Located in Anza, CA

Kathy Haley had originally started as a rescue for abused and neglected large animals such as donkeys, llamas, alpacas, pigs, and more. At the time, she was also a volunteer at a dog rescue. After learning about the importance of rescue work, Kathy saw an opportunity to help by employing her own ideas about animal welfare, rescue and care taking the "whole animal," mind, body and spirit into consideration. A few years later, she met Lisa Ashe. Kathy and Lisa had so many ideas, dreams, and goals in common. They instantly clicked and that was when Hope Ranch Animal Sanctuary, a non-profit organization, was born in 2011 and have been going strong since.

At Hope Ranch Animal Sanctuary, we are dedicated to taking in abused, neglected, and euthanasia listed animals that deserve a second chance and need us the most.

All of our animals are:
Spayed/Neutered
Current on all vaccines
Rabies Vaccinated
Dewormed
Micro-chipped (lifetime registered & paid)
Received all proper medical care when needed (surgeries, dentals, medications, grooming, etc)​

While many of our animals are sanctuary or "permanent residents", we do have lots of adoptable pets who are patiently waiting for their forever homes.
We are unique in the fact that our dogs do not live in kennels; instead they live with us in our home on about 5 acres of property located in Anza, CA or they are in foster homes in and around the Temecula, CA area. They have full access to our home and property and sleep inside with us at night.
This ensures that our pets are well adjusted and perfectly suited to become a part of your family.

Because the sanctuary is also our home, we do not have regular public visiting hours but we do have many visitors.
We just have to arrange it to fit the schedule of our animals, ourselves, and you.
