Meet Sawyer!
 
Say hello to Sawyer, a sweet and spirited 1-year-old double Merle Australian Shepherd who’s ready to steal your heart! This handsome boy may be deaf and vision impaired in one eye, but don’t let that fool you—he’s a fast learner who thrives on routine and loves to please his people. With his sharp mind and playful nature, Sawyer is a joy to train and always eager to pick up new cues.
 
Sawyer is happiest when he’s playing, exploring, or cuddling up after a good romp in the yard. He’s proven to be a social butterfly with other dogs of all sizes, from tiny Boston Terriers to gentle giants like Mastiffs, making him a great fit for a multi-dog household.
 
This smart Aussie is looking for a cat-free home, as he finds feline friends just too tempting to chase. He’ll do best with an adopter who appreciates his special needs and is excited to guide him through life with patience, love, and positive reinforcement.
 
If you’re ready for a loyal, loving companion who will reward you with endless affection and joy, Sawyer is your guy!
**A note on Double Merle Aussies: Double merles are the result of a genetic defect from improper breeding of two merle-colored Aussies. This can lead to hearing, vision, and neurological issues. While these issues may not always present themselves early on, committing to a double merle means consistent checkups and care. Ghost’s special needs may require additional attention, but he’s worth every bit of love and patience!
