Needless to say....Sawyer doesn't like water. 😆

He is still available for adoption!

Limit your pets time outdoors, especially in the middle of the day.

ADOPT SAWYER! 🐾

Sawyer is the sweetest 4 year old Carolina Dog mix who just wants to be loved! He may be shy for a few seconds, but once he warms up, he is right in your arms begging for love and attention.
He likes everyone... dogs, cats, and older kids. He is not a fan of toddlers climbing on him, so a home with older children would be best.

Sawyer enjoys playing ball, is great on a leash, and would make such a loving companion for the right family.
Come meet this sweet boy!
Give us a call to set up a time to meet him! 816-532-0070

Most recent sighting was Wednesday night in Lake Meadows. Please let us know or contact the trapper if you've seen this dog. He may be on cameras in Lake Meadows around 8:30ish pm Wednesday.
Do not approach to try to capture this dog. We believe he has been running for awhile and we would love to get him safe

Sawyer was sure happy to see me this morning! Poor guy wants to be with someone so badly!
Please share to find him a home!
4 yrs old, great with other dogs, cats and older kids who know not to climb on him.

🐾 ADOPT SAWYER! 🐾

Looking for a loyal sidekick? Meet Sawyer!
This sweet 4-year-old boy joined us at today's employee BBQ lunch and was a perfect gentleman. He enjoyed meeting everyone, soaking up the attention, and even sampling a few chicken leftovers! 🍗
We believe Sawyer is a Carolina Dog mix, possibly with a little Husky mixed in based on his impressive shedding skills. 😊
A few things we love about Sawyer:
🐾 Friendly with other dogs, though he's more of a "hang out" kind of guy than a rough-and-tumble player.
🐾 Curious about cats but has shown no aggression toward them.
🐾 Great with older children who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs.
🐾 Loves being brushed (which is a good thing because that coat needs regular grooming!).
🐾 Wants to be close to his people and enjoys being part of the family.

If you're interested in meeting Sawyer and seeing if he's the perfect fit for your family, give us a call at 816-532-0070 to schedule a meet-and-greet!

❤️ Please share to help Sawyer find his forever home!
