My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Axel
Breed: Shepherd mix
Estimated Birthday: 12/12/2012
Weight: 45 pounds
House & crate trained

Are you looking for a champion snoozer, snuggler and sun bather? Meet Axel, a 12-13 year old Shepherd mix who checks all the boxes! This sweet senior weighs around 50 lbs and, while he does have some health issues–arthritis, a slipped disc, and is mostly blind and deaf–he still enjoys the simple pleasures of life. And in many ways, he is a low maintenance dog. He does fine on a leash and only needs short walks. He is crate trained and does not require a fenced yard.

While we don’t know Axel’s history, we know that he does prefer spending his time with the ladies–both humans and doggy siblings (so no male dog playmates). With any potential adopter, it may take some time for him to warm up, but once does, he’ll fill your life with the love and comfort that only an old dog can provide. While Axel is house trained, he may have occasional bowel accidents (possibly caused by his back issues). And if there are other dogs in the house, they should be fed separately as Axel may sometimes growl–so solo dining it is!

If you can provide a loving home for Axel to enjoy his golden years in comfort, apply today.


- Knows his basic commands like 'sit' and 'shake' and walks lovely on leash.
- Takes time to get used to strangers and needs an adopter who is willing to be patient with him as he learns to trust
- You can always catch Axel with a toy in his mouth! He loves zippy paws toys and will carry his "babies" around in his mouth
- Enjoys following you all around the house and just wants to be with you
- Likes to snuggle on your lap or lay right up next to you! As long as part of him is touching you he is content!
- Does well with female teenagers & female adults.
- Does well in the crate but also can free roam in his foster's home
- Due to Axel only liking female dogs, he would not be suitable for dog park/dog bark environments.
- Has not been tested with cats
