Axel is a handsome young male German Shepherd estimated around 3.5 years of age. Axel was originally with us as a stray in 2020 and adopted to a home that recently returned him due to a change in their lifestyle.
Axel can be reserved with new people and hasn't really learned how to expand his social circle easily. He is extremely sweet and loyal to those he knows and can warms up to new people well with a bit of time. Axel is a German Shepherd and has the protective tendencies that come with the breed - he is not the sort of dogs to make friends with strangers approaching his house. Axel is super cuddly and loves to be part of whatever his people are doing from yard work to netflix binges. Axel enjoys going on walks and hikes, being brushed, and supervising his humans. Axel has lived with children 8 years and up that were dog savvy and done well but does require a structured introduction to new children.
Axel has always lived with other dogs and enjoyed getting to romp and run with them. He isn't much of a wild child in play groups anymore but can still navigate them with ease. Axel does well meeting new dogs and is an overall very respectful boy with his dog social manners. Axel has not been around any dogs under 35 lbs or any cats to our knowledge.
Axel is a sweet, gentle, and goofy boy who is looking for a loving home that will give him the love, patience, and guidance he needs as he figures his world out. If you're the home for Axel email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQs
