Lots of dogs to be walked.

The dogs take a toll mentally when they don’t get out of their kennels 💔

Hi! My name is Sawyer!
I have been training at the prison for months and I’m ready to be the best boy ever for my new family!

I'm a big softy who loves nothing more than to lounge around and receive affection from my human friends. I can also enjoy a good game of fetch when I'm feeling particularly playful. My friends here describe me as a pleasant and sweet-hearted dog who gets along with everyone I meet, including other dogs. I'm a loyal companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin. I am a well-rounded dog and the perfect addition to your family. When you come to meet me, I know you'll fall in love with my gentleness and my thorough love for life. Cant wait to meet you!!
Sawyer has passed all tasks on the CGC tests and upon adoption could be certified if you so chose to.

Sawyer is 2 years old, lab mix
Approx 65 lbs
He is neutered/ UTD/ microchipped

Sam is truly one of a kind.
He is incredibly smart, athletic, loyal, and fun!
His fosters just got his dna back and he is exactly 50% lab 50% doberman.
Sam is looking for a forever home where he can thrive!
Someone to challenge him both physically and mentally. Sammy will be your best friend!
He has been around children and is fine, he would probably unintentionally knock over little ones though.
He has not been around many other dogs but he shows signs that he wants to play and could possibly have a dog buddy.
He is approx 55 lbs, almost 2 years old.
Neutered/UTD/microchipped.
