Meet 2211-1519 Axel

Axel (2211-1519) 1 1/2 years old, house trained. Good with older kids. Would recommend being the only pet in the home. Axel is super playful and loves to run! When he’s brought into a yard he just runs and plays and finds every toy he could find! Axel was surrendered in November when his owner passed away and a friend took him in, but he was too high energy for the friend. He knows sit and paw! I’m sure he would learn other tricks really easily. He does resource guard his food so this should be managed in the home. He can be shy with new people but becomes friends very fast! Axel is very loving and loves his people! He pulls on the leash but with a harness he pulls less. Takes treats gently. He met quite a few people today and loved all of them! Does well in the car. He needs a home with a back yard since he is high energy and would love to run! If you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a dog to go on adventures Axel is your boy! Come meet this sweet boy!  He met a horse today! If you have a farm with horses he might be a good match! Slow and proper introductions and he’ll need to get used to them. He got a bunch of treats from the cashier at care a lot and picked our a toy and got treats. He had a pup cup from Starbucks and loved it! Then we went to tractor supply and he made 4 new friends!
