Hi everyone! My name is Axel Rose. But you can call me Axel for short. I’m the handsomest speckled male Dalmatian mix... and I love to 'sploot!!' They think I was born around 01/18/22. I weigh in at a desirable 48 pounds. I’m heartworm negative, neutered, and current on all my vaccines and preventatives. I was found wandering the streets all by myself in the cold of winter in 2024. A human from TAP showed me a kindness I’ve rarely seen and took me in and promised to help me fine my forever home. I really am the perfect mix of play and love and adventure and cuddles! I’m one of those rare dogs that has the unique ability to adjust my energy level to match that of my person. I’m awesome with other dogs and I really really love humans!! … I just need to find the right family so I can fill their home with all of the love and loyalty I have to give. I’m such a good boy, so deserving of loving, permanent family! Please consider giving me a chance to win my way into your heart. Just set up a meet and greet and let me do the rest!
