Here's what the humans have to say about me:
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION – Meet Axel (Round 2, Let’s Do This Right!)
Axel (D-5801) is a 2+ year old Shepherd who is once again looking for his forever home — and this time, we’re being extra honest so he lands exactly where he belongs.
Axel was adopted and returned after it became clear that small children aren’t his thing. He’s not a “jump right into your arms” dog — Axel is more of a slow-burn friendship kind of guy. Think introvert, not party animal.
✨ What we’ve learned about Axel:
• Chill, laid-back, and very polite once he knows you
• Good with other dogs
• Can be good with cats
• Leash trained and crate trained
• Knows sit, down, paw, and kennel
• Smart and capable — just selective with his trust
Axel’s personality in a nutshell:
Axel takes longer than most to warm up, but when he does, you’ll see his soft, vulnerable side — and it’s worth the wait! He’s been coming out of his shell more every day and showing us who he really is under that cautious exterior.
Axel’s ideal home:
• Adults only or older teens
• Calm, patient humans who let dogs move at their own pace
• Someone who understands that not all dogs want to be best friends on Day One
Axel isn’t broken, stubborn, or “difficult” — he’s just a thoughtful dog who wants to feel safe before he commits. Those who have experienced heartbreak can relate. If you’re the kind of person who believes trust is earned and bonds are built, Axel might be your perfect match.
If interested please call!
