3 year old male needs a home ASAP. Is up to date on shots but not neutered. Owner is suddenly being forced to move and unfortunately cannot take the dog to new residence. I have only a few days left to find the dog a home and really does not want to take him to a shelter.

Story
1/5/26: Hello from 'behind bars'!! Just kidding, I'm now at the rescue's Prison Program and won't be available for adoption until 2/3/26. Until then, let's see what all I learn! --- 12/20/25: Meet Elian ❄️ Elian came to us as a stray from Maryland with little known about his past, but he’s quickly showing us who he is now — a sweet, attentive boy with a big heart. When Elian arrived, he was thin with rough, weathered ears, suggesting a hard start in life. Despite that, he is incredibly lovable and eager to connect. He’s food motivated and enjoys learning, and we’ve recently discovered that he loves playing in the snow — a simple joy that seems to make him truly happy. Elian is looking for a home that will continue to show him kindness, warmth, and stability, and help him leave his rough beginnings behind.

Story
Axel is a 6-year-old German Shepherd weighing just under 100 pounds. As far as we know, Axel’s life before coming to us was one of isolation — living on a chain, exposed to the elements, and deprived of the basic care every dog deserves. He was removed from that situation and Axel is now fully in our custody. Axel is brand new to Char-Wills, and we are still getting to know him. As we spend more time with Axel, we will continue learning about his personality, preferences, and quirks, and his bio will be updated to reflect what we discover along the way. Saving a dog like Axel is both an honor and a heartbreak. When given a bed, shelter, consistent food, and genuine love, he showed us just how much goodness still lives inside him. It makes the reality of his situation unimaginably difficult. Axel has done well with every animal we’ve tested him with so far, though we believe he could clash with a dominant male in a home environment. He already knows some basic commands and has shown himself to be intelligent and eager to learn. Despite his past, Axel appears to be house-trained — he has never soiled his kennel, which speaks volumes about his awareness and self-control. Axel is a smart dog with clear potential. With training, socialization, neutering, and continued structure, there is reason to believe some of his challenges could improve. Dogs like Axel remind us how resilient they are — and how deeply they can bond once shown kindness.
