My story

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


Axel is an Australian
Shepherd mix who is approximately 9 years old. I adopted him when he was about 2 years old back in warrensburg, MO from the animal shelter. He is neutered and microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. He tends to be fine around most dogs, but if the other dog is aggressive or too hyper, he will reciprocate. He is currently in a home with another dog and cat and younger kids; however, despite his age he is too hyper and has been a hazard to our children despite our efforts. He will occasionally get what seems to be seizures, but I have not been able to capture it on video and cannot afford to have the vet look into further. The vet wasn't too concerned since they seem few and far between, but again I do not know the cause. He is the most affectionate dog and would love to sit on your lap and be petted by you all day. I feel a home with no young children that is willing to give him more attention and exercise is best. He tends to act like a puppy despite his age
