My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Believe without a doubt this fine 1-yr-old boy embraces a continuous and impressive list of outstanding qualities. With small dogs he allows them to take over. With large dogs he provides a neutral balance. He's still a puppy in many ways by his demeanor while in playtime. He does not embrace any behavior issues. None! He does not disrupt, destroy nor deny obedience.

While in the vet's office Sawyer spotted a decoration on the floor, a ceramic caterpillar. Sawyer went up to the caterpillar, made eye contact and plopped his front end down with his tail high in the air, wagging and, yes, wanted to play. He kept "inviting" the caterpillar to join him. Now, this dog is far from dumb - the puppy that still is within him resurrected. At 58 lbs and approximately 1 yr old, this dog is a joy! Hands down! When he takes treats from a human hand he strains his neck all the way back to protect the extended hand from his teeth!  Sawyer is perfectly housebroken, does not lift his leg, does not, does not and does not do anything, literally, wrong.

A disruption started between two other dogs in front of a guest. Sawyer saw what was oncoming and steadily placed himself between the two dogs and our guest. Sawyer's strategic move was to protect her.For more information on this intensely beautiful and quality boy, phone: 727.894.6805. How this boy ended up in a shelter shall always remain absurd There is simply no way to say enough about Sawyer. He's just terrific in every way. Guaranteed!



Each day that passes Sawyer impresses more. He does not have any behavior issues. None! He does not disrupt, destroy or deny obedience.
