Hi, my name is Sawyer. I am a spunky female bichon who is about 6 years old. I am a typical bichon; I am curious, a little mischievous, and pretty smart! I was rescued from a puppy mill where I lived in a cage. I hated it so much that I now refuse to be crated, and will injure myself if someone forces me to. I also have separation anxiety, but the good news is that I LOVE other dogs.
I am also slowly getting used to living in a house. I was initially scared of people, but they are growing on me. They feed me and give me treats, which I really like. I'm still a bit hesitant though, so I will need a human who is patient with me. I have also discovered toys and beds. Wow, do I LOVE beds! I could spend most of my day sleeping in my bed, and I often do! I do go outside to go potty, but if I am left alone for too long I am not sure what to do and go potty inside. I also like to steal things and bring them to my bed. I remember when I stole my foster parent's remote control and hid it in my bed. It was great! I don't chew on them, I'm just a collector.
My foster parents say that I am a funny dog, and that I would do best in a house where I never have to be crated and would rarely or never be left alone. I definitely need a doggy sibling too!

It took some time for her to trust hands and laps, but she is now a loving, happy little lady and a very important part of our family. Believe it or not, she has inspired us to persevere through tough times. It may seem crazy that this fluffy little chihuahua taught us about strength and grit, but we learned that if this little dog could hang in there until she got a chance to live her best life, surely we can make it through a tough day or two.
