Meet Sawyer — Devoted, Fetch-Obsessed, and Looking for a Savvy Home

Fostered in Plymouth, IN | 3 Years Old | Border Collie Mix

Sawyer is a loving, loyal dog with a huge heart for his people. With those he knows and trusts, he’s affectionate, gentle, and incredibly devoted. He’s also a pretty calm boy overall — unless you bring out a tennis ball. Then he turns into a fetch machine!

Sawyer does need a specific kind of home, one that understands boundaries, management, and advocating for a sensitive dog.

What to know about Sawyer:

Very affectionate with his people — forms deep bonds

LOVES to fetch — truly his favorite thing in life

Not good with unfamiliar people

He has to be properly managed around strangers

Needs slow, structured introductions and a home that will set clear boundaries

Good with familiar dogs

Can be reactive or rude with unfamiliar dogs

Seems fine with cats

️ Calm overall when he feels safe and understood

Sawyer is a good boy who wants nothing more than a person (or family) he can trust completely. In the right home — one experienced with sensitive dogs and comfortable managing introductions — he will thrive as a loyal, loving, deeply bonded companion.

If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you, stick by your side, and fetch until your arm falls off, Sawyer might be your guy.
