About Sawyer

Sawyer (sometimes called Tom Sawyer) is a sweet, miniature bundle of joy with a big personality. He’s full of happy wiggles, puppy kisses, and loves to give endless affection to everyone he meets. Sawyer thrives on human company and is just as eager to make friends with new people as he is with other dogs or cats. Charming and playful, this little guy makes an impression everywhere he goes. He’s happiest in your arms, basking in attention, and winding down the day curled up beside you for a good cuddle session. Sawyer is expected to stay small, likely reaching just 10–15 pounds when fully grown, so he’s best suited to a home without very young children—his petite frame means he could easily get injured with rough handling. While he’s irresistibly cute, Sawyer will need boundaries, training, and structure just like any other puppy. Early training now will help him become a relaxed, happy, well-mannered adult. His coat, as beautiful as it is, will need regular grooming—including daily brushing at home and routine professional grooming visits to keep him looking and feeling his best. Sawyer has a huge heart, lots of love to share, and is ready for a family devoted to him for the long haul. Ready to welcome him home for good? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
