MEET SAWYER - 8-ish years old and approximately 100% magical old man energy.

Sawyer is an 8-year-old-ish Shih Tzu mix, and this dude is EASY, and we mean it. It takes a lot for us to say that.

Sawyer LOVES literally every single person he meets. He will immediately become your personal hype dog.

Haven't seen you in five minutes?

"OMG!!! YOU'RE BACK!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!"

Every. Single. Time.

He gets along beautifully with dogs, kids, cats, unicorns... whatever. Sawyer's down. He's just happy to be included.

Rides perfectly in the car

House trained

Crate trained

Knows "sit"

Sleeps through the night like an absolute dream

Loves going for walks

Enjoys people-watching from the door

Is VERY supportive of the treat industry

Sawyer occasionally marks inside, but a belly band does a great job discouraging it. He honestly probably doesn't even need to be crated, but he loves his crate and happily sleeps in it all night.

Basically, Sawyer showed up and immediately acted like he'd been living here for years. He's sweet, funny, easygoing, affectionate, and just an all-around magical little old man.

If you're looking for a dog who will fit right into your life and make you feel like the most exciting person on Earth every time you walk into a room, Sawyer is your guy.

This dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped.
