Sawyer is one hopeful pup. He was saved from a puppy mill alongside his littermates and brought to a Wisconsin shelter, where he spent each day hoping for a chance. One by one, his siblings found homes, leaving Sawyer the last one behind, heartbroken and pleading for someone to notice him.
What Sawyer didn’t realize was that fate had better plans for him; he just needed to be patient a little longer.
Heartbroken To Be Left Out

Sawyer arrived at Elmbrook Humane Society as a timid puppy, just a tiny bundle of joy overwhelmed by past traumas. He had been treated as a mere number in a puppy mill, but fortunately, he was saved along with his siblings before that fate could be fulfilled.

But his journey didn’t end in the shelter. As an adoptive dog, Sawyer faced more heartache. Although he received love and care, he felt the absence of his littermates who had all been adopted. Each departure left him coping with deep feelings of loneliness.
This little Cattle Dog yearned for a chance, giving passersby a heart-wrenching look from his enclosure. Lost without his family, he desperately sought a new one, eager to share the love that lay within him.
“Sawyer is a shy but endearing puppy, still adjusting to life outside of the puppy mill where he came from. While he may be timid at first, his quiet, sweet personality hints at the loving companion he’s meant to be,” his Shelterluv profile reads.
Sawyer spent days waiting for a change until finally, a family walked in and transformed his life.
Finally, Good News

In an update video shared by the Elmbrook Humane Society team, Sawyer can be seen happily embraced by his new family. He was finally spotted by loving adoptive parents ready for a life-changing adventure to a forever home!
“Update: Sawyer is no longer sad, alone, or in a cone! Thank you to his new family for choosing to adopt, and thank you to everyone who shared Sawyer’s story,” EHS stated in their video.
From now on, Sawyer will never experience heartbreak again. His future is now bright, filled with joy, smiles, exciting adventures, and plenty of outdoor activities—as befits a Cattle Dog!
