About Sawyer

Sawyer is a spirited 2-year-old who thrives on treats, car rides, and playtime with sturdy toys. While he'll go hard on his toys, your furniture is completely safe—he shows no interest in chewing things that aren't meant for him. Sawyer is crate trained and housebroken, though he'd much rather stick close to his people and prefers not to be left alone for long stretches. When called indoors, he comes right away, and he already has a good handle on basic obedience commands. A fenced yard is a must for Sawyer—he needs room to run and burn off energy in a safe space. He does fine crated, but it's not necessary at night. For those with children or other dogs, Sawyer gets along well with both. His skin sometimes acts up, but a few doses of apoquel will get things back on track. If you decide to move forward, Hello Doggie has a straightforward process: a home check and a one-week trial period to make sure everyone settles in well. Ready to fall in love?
