Sawyer Nihill

Sawyer is a sweet 14-year-old, 8-pound Yorkshire Terrier looking for a special home. He has a significant collapsing trachea, which causes chronic coughing and breathing difficulties that can be exacerbated by excitement, stress, or changes in temperature. Sawyer requires ongoing medical management and a calm, predictable environment. He's functionally blind but navigates his surroundings with confidence once he's familiar with them. Sawyer is affectionate and forms strong bonds with his person, thriving on routine. He does best with a harness, minimal exertion, and a quiet, low-stress household. Sawyer is not a candidate for first-time dog owners but will be a devoted companion to the right adopter.
