My story

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

Axel is a 3-month-old German Shepherd puppy available for adoption through NW Working Breed Rescue.

Axel is a confident, people-oriented puppy with a solid foundation and a bright future ahead. He’s curious, engaged, and enjoys being part of whatever is going on around him. Like his littermates, Axel has already received an excellent start and is ready to continue learning and growing in a committed home.

Axel is already doing well with:
• Potty training
• Leash training
• Crate training
• Basic obedience skills
• Living with other dogs
• Living with cats
• Being around children

Axel shows great potential to thrive in a home that values structure, routine, and continued positive training. He has the intelligence and adaptability typical of the breed and will do best with adopters who are excited to keep building on the strong groundwork he already has.

If you’re looking for a young German Shepherd with a balanced temperament and a great start in life, Axel may be the perfect fit.

More about this rescue

About Northwest Working Breed Rescue

Northwest Working Breed Rescue is a foster-based rescue dedicated to helping working breed dogs in need. We focus on dogs who benefit from structure, engagement, and thoughtful placement — and we work hard to make sure each dog is set up for long-term success.

Our rescue was founded by people who combine a deep love for dogs with a practical, team-based approach. After years of fostering, transporting, and supporting rescue operations behind the scenes, we saw the need for a rescue that pairs compassion with strong systems, clear communication, and support for fosters and adopters alike.

We believe rescue should work well for everyone involved — the dogs, the fosters caring for them, and the families welcoming them home. Our process emphasizes appropriate medical care, behavioral support, and responsible matching, with multiple checkpoints to ensure each adoption is the right fit.

Every dog in our care lives in a foster home, where we can learn about their personality, needs, and strengths. This allows us to be transparent with adopters and create placements that last.

We do this work because every dog deserves a chance to be understood, supported, and loved — and because saving dogs is most effective when it’s done thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with intention.
