Rogers knew she had to do more to help this sweet dog. They were never adopted, so she chose to foster her until she was suitable for adoption.

When it came time for her to find a new home, Rogers couldn’t let her go.

Rogers made the choice to keep the dog, which she named Rey after a Star Wars Jedi.

The August Police Department shared a photo of the adorable couple along with the poignant story on their Facebook page.
