ld neutered male with a big heart and an even bigger love for tennis ball fetch! This fetching machine has endless energy when it comes to his favorite game—he’ll play as long as you’re willing to toss. Sawyer came to us after a vet reached out for help. His owner left for college, and Sawyer was sadly kept isolated in a room. Despite that rough start, he’s shown nothing but love and potential in his foster home. He may be a bit reserved with unfamiliar people, especially men, but once he knows you, he becomes incredibly devoted and affectionate. He’s good with other dogs in playgroups and has two best buddies, Wiley and Tippy. That said, Sawyer prefers not to share his beloved toys—he can resource guard his ball, so we don’t play fetch with him around other dogs. Because of this, he’d thrive as an only dog or with a laid-back canine friend who isn’t interested in toys. He’s also entirely indifferent to cats! Sawyer has started a Basic Obedience Class and is doing well. In doggie daycare, he’s generally social but won’t tolerate overly rowdy dogs—he’s quick to correct those who get too obnoxious, so supervision is helpful in those moments. Sawyer would love a home where he can soak up all the attention, play fetch to his heart’s content, and be your most loyal sidekick. He’s currently being fostered in Plymouth, IN, and is ready to find his perfect match. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who’s always up for a game, Sawyer might just be your guy! Please contact stephodellbchotmail if you have any questions about Sawyer. You can complete an application to adopt Sawyer or any of the dogs on our website at ebyebcrescue . *** The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
