About Sawyer-PENDING!

The very first thing that Sawyer the beautiful Yorkshire Terrier/Cairn Terrier mix wants to make clear is that he's a LOVE! (Sawyer was identified by one vet as a purebred Yorkie, by another as a Yorkie/Cairn mix...all we know is that he's all adorable!) His little nose sniffs shyly at an outstretched hand...and then an ear to ear smile if it's a loving touch. Then before you know it, Sawyer is at your side. He's so happy there because his relationships are so important to him. This 18 month old, 13 lb guy truly lights up when he feels like he's done a good job... some serious hugging and kind words will send him over the moon. While initially shy (who wouldn't be after time spent at a high-kill shelter?) Sawyer becomes a cuddly best friend to those that are kind to him. Sawyer enjoys humans of all age group ...but we are searching for an adult family or one with older, dog-crazy children for this very sweet pup. Sawyer can initially become overwhelmed by chaos...therefore a family with very young children living in the home isn't right for Sawyer. We envision Sawyer with active retirees who want a sweet and engaging fuzzy guy in their lives. He would be overjoyed with time spent...hiking, exploring and then flopping down on the couch together at day's end would be right down Sawyer's alley. Sawyer would be so excited to spend his days in the company of his people. He could be a perfect take-along pup to a dog-friendly workplace or a great foot-warmer at a home office. We feel that Sawyer (and all dogs) should have the opportunity to attend positive reinforcement group obedience classes. Farfel's is happy to provide names of approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers in your area. These classes (with minimal expense and time spent for such an important outcome) teach both the dog and family how to work with new behavioral skills that results in a well behaved partner out in the world. Sawyer can initially have moments of shyness from the turmoil that has been in his life...a guardian who is present and full of good intention can readily get this great pup past any insecure feelings and let him know he is loved and will never be abandoned. We've requested that Sawyer be neutered/microchipped prior to his transport to Denver. We're not optimistic that this will occur due to far too few vets in this industrial area of New Mexico. If it doesn't, Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs for Sawyer's neuter and microchip if one of our rescue vets is used. Sawyer will be arriving on transport in Denver on Saturday 11/10/18. Applications are currently being accepted for this very sweet lap dog and best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out our application completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Sawyer please be sure to fill out our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving guy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
