Update, 2/10/10: Sawyer’s listing is no longer available on Petfinder.

During the last year+, I’ve featured a disproportionate number of beagles here on the KCF blog. Probably I should rotate through breeds as well as species, just to be fair. But Sawyer is just so durned cute, I can’t help but post yet another beagle pic!

OOOOh Sawyer, what an angel he is. He was found in a high kill animal control facility in August. He was so incredibly sad and lonely. He wasn’t eating and looked just miserable. Once at his foster home, Sawyer began showing signs of kennel cough. He was immediately seen by a vet and given antibiotics. He was really sick and had to be hand fed. Once he was on the mend, I was able to see the REAL Sawyer. He is silly and loves to play outside. He loves kids (I have three teenagers) and the kids in the neighborhood. He gets along well with the other dogs too. He is completely housebroken. He is also a very quiet beagle. I kept waiting for that baying to start once he felt better but he really doesn’t feel the need to talk. If you are looking for a perfect beagle, he is it. I really feel like he is a very special boy. He has these eyes that really tell you how he is feeling. He will make someone a great best friend.

Sawyer is currently staying with ACT Dog Rescue in Overland Park, Kansas. Sounds like he’ll be a good viewing companion with which to enjoy the final season of Lost; better bring him home before January!

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal companion.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
