Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Santa Monica, California

Sawyer has every reason not to trust the world but somehow, he still does.

This sweet boy was found as a stray near Palm Desert, surviving alongside a group of other stray dogs who were attacking and bullying him. By the time Rescue Lyfe took him in, Sawyer was covered in burns and cuts.

Despite everything he’s been through, Sawyer remains one of the most loving, gentle, and forgiving dogs you could ever meet.

He absolutely adores people, loves other dogs, enjoys walks, playtime, and simply being close to his humans. He has such a soft, affectionate personality and just wants to feel safe and loved.

Because of the trauma and abandonment he experienced, Sawyer struggles with being left alone and is currently dealing with separation anxiety. He urgently needs either a long-term foster or forever home willing to help him build confidence and learn that he is safe. With structure, patience, consistency, and crate training, we truly believe Sawyer has all the potential in the world to overcome this.

Sawyer is about 1 year old, 50 lbs, neutered, vaccinated, dog friendly, and full of love. He just needs someone willing to believe in him and not give up on him.

This is a courtesy post for Rescue Lyfe. Sawyer is not with Sandy Dog Rescue. Please reach out to us or directly to Rescue Lyfe for more information about fostering or adopting Sawyer ASAP.
