Sawyer is a handsome, compact little guy, about 3 years old and 20 pounds, with a lot of heart packed into his small frame. He came to us after things didn’t work out with another dog in his previous home, and like many dogs who experience sudden change Sawyer arrived feeling overwhelmed and unsure. At first the world felt like a lot, and he let everyone know it.
But once Sawyer was given time to decompress and realize he was safe, something really special happened. The walls came down, the stress faded, and his true personality started to shine! Underneath that tough first impression is a genuinely sweet, affectionate boy who bonds closely with his people and wants nothing more than to feel secure and understood.
At the rescue Sawyer has surprised us in the best way. He’s been doing well with the other dogs and has been enjoying playtime, zoomies, and stretching his legs. Out on walks or in a one-on-one setting, he’s an absolute gem. He loves exploring, taking in new smells, and being by your side. He can still get a little spicy when meeting new people behind a fence, but with guidance, patience, and continued training, this is something he can absolutely improve on.
Sawyer would thrive in a home with an experienced, dedicated owner who understands that trust takes time. He’d do best with no children or older dog-savvy kids who can respect his space. An active household would be ideal as Sawyer truly loves long walks and adventures around the neighborhood.
He may come with a few quirks, but Sawyer is the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds once he feels safe. The right person will be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion who just wants to belong. Sawyer is ready for his fresh start and hoping his forever person is out there. Could it be you? Please inquire today!

More about this rescue
Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
