Story
Meet Sawyer 🐾 Sawyer is a sweet 7-year-old, 60 lb. Chow mix looking for her new furever home. She's gentle, affectionate, and a little quirky. She loves the beach and river trips but is just as happy relaxing on the couch. She can be shy at first, but once she warms up, she'll snuggle right in (often using a pillow like a human!). Her family has loved her since puppyhood, but after welcoming a baby and living in a small apartment, they know Sawyer would thrive with more space and attention. She'd do best with someone who can walk her regularly and ideally has a yard or enjoys an active lifestyle. She may do well with another dog, though she'll need time to adjust. Sawyer walks with a gentle leader and gets excited around other dogs and wildlife, but with consistency (and some string cheese!) she's improving. She still has many wonderful years ahead and is ready for a home where she can truly thrive. If you think Sawyer might be the perfect fit, please reach out! 💛

Story
Here's what you need to know about me:I need a home without cats. We just don't get along - even if they don't mind me, I can't be in the same home with them.I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Here's what you need to know about me:I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.I jump and play rough. I don't mean to, I just get really excited when I play!I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.I'd like a home where my family is home often. I'm just really social and love spending time with people, I prefer to not be left alone for long periods.I like dogs. I've lived with dogs before and we shared our space well!I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me.I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 65 Age: 1yrs 0mths 4wks
