My story

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

AXL is a terrific 1-year old dog. We absolutely adore him! He's a total rock star at the dog park and his off-leash recall is fantastic! He LOVES all dogs (A LOT) and knows how to play well with any dog. He's probably a purebred Doberman Pinscher and very sweet, lovable and affectionate with people.

He can sit and has very good manners. He's needs daily exercise and playtime at the dog park or hikes, but after he's totally chill. He loves doggy daycares and is very popular with the big dogs! He's highly responsive to training and has a very gentle mouth when taking treats. He is a very nice pup who loves being around people and bonds super fast. He's crate-trained too!

Like all young dogs, he could use continued training, and consistent exercise to become the best adult dog ever. He's fantastic at dog parks, and daycare and rides well in cars. And he loves running around at the beach! If you're a hiking person he would be a fantastic companion for that because he stays right with you.

AXL would do best in a home that understands large breeds. He loves dogs so another dog would be just fine for him! Children in the home should be older because he's such a big boy (he's good with all kids!) and we've found from his foster that he's a cat chaser so no cats or small animals like chinchillas.

AXL's been staying at a doggy daycare where they are working with him and training him daily.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption contract that is very detailed, how many people in the home, children, yard, training, where will the dog stay, etc. We stay in contact with the new owner long after the adoption to make sure everything is going smoothly and to answer any questions or possible concerns. We want to make sure this match is a match for life. If there is any reason the family can no longer keep the dog (move, lost job, etc) we will take the dog back, even if it's years later.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Locally there are only 3 of us that are volunteering. We foster them at our homes, so there is no physical shelter. We respond immediately to any and all inquiries regarding the puppies and dogs, and will set up a "meet and greet" with the potential owners. At this time we don't have a regular place for adoption events. Meeting the puppies will either be in San Francisco where our fosters live.

More about this rescue

AWARE has been in existence for over 10 years and in the USA works out of San Francisco, California. We mainly rescue dogs from Guatemala but also list owner surrender pets in California. We make sure all animals up for adoption are spayed and neutered. We bring in about 20 puppies a year from Sumpango and Antigua Guatemala.
