Meet Roger and his Paws for Heroes dog "Charlotte"! Roger spent 16 years in military service—four years with the Army, and 12 with the Air Force. During that time Roger was deployed to Iraq twice, as well as to Kuwait. Roger intended to make the military his career, and received five promotions during his tenure. However, his career was cut short when he was honorably discharged due to medical issues. Roger now works as a recruiter in the HR department of a bank headquarters and has a partner, Tracy. However, he suffers from post- military anxiety and needed the comfort of a companion dog.
Charlotte was a stray dog in Houston who gave birth to a litter of puppies. Thankfully, she was picked up by the HSPCA who adopted out all of her puppies. Then it was time for Charlotte to find a home! Paws for Heroes knew she would be perfect for Roger. Roger takes Charlotte to work with him at Amegy Bank. Charlotte now spends happy days among her “co-workers,” providing comfort to Roger, and bringing smiles to the other people in his office.
After work, Charlotte plays in Roger’s backyard with a dog who belongs Roger’s next-door neighbor. Charlotte’s days are full of love and fun; and Roger says “Charlotte has brought me so much comfort and joy.”
