Story
Bella is a wonderful, sweet, and playful dog who loves attention, pets, long walks, and patrolling her yard chasing birds and squirrels. She is VERY affectionate and adores our three children. The issue that is causing us to find Bella a new home is that she has recently started to not get along with our other dog, a very docile and submissive Golden Retriever. Bella is the sweetest dog that I have ever owned. She is loyal, loving, and always up for fun. She would be the perfect dog for a family in which she is the only dog in the house. We have had 3 cats live with Bella during her time with us and she has gotten along with them great.

Story
Axel: Your Everyday Sunshine ☀️🐾 7 years old · Black Lab/Shepherd Mix · Approx. 69 lbs · Neutered Male ·Location (Shelter) ⭐ Adoption Fee: $0.00 ( generously sponsored) Meet Axel, a 7-year-old gentleman with a soft heart, a steady soul, and a smile you can count on 98 percent of the time. Axel came to us through no fault of his own after his owner was no longer able to care for him. He arrived healthy, well-mannered, and ready to make himself right at home wherever love is offered. At nearly 69 pounds, he is a solid boy, but his personality is pure gentle giant. According to his former owner, Axel did wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children. Since being with us, he has continued to show that same easygoing nature. During his photo session, all he wanted was to lean into our volunteer and soak up affection. If there is a lap nearby, Axel will politely try to fit into it. At our recent Pups and Pancakes event, Axel was an absolute star. He lounged comfortably beside our volunteers, greeted new friends with calm enthusiasm, and especially enjoyed the attention from children. He even participated in the pancake catching contest like a seasoned professional. Through it all, he remained relaxed, friendly, and happy to simply be part of the fun. Axel is treat motivated, which makes him both attentive and eager to please. He is also wonderfully tolerant of dress up days and will happily sport a bandana or festive accessory without complaint. Whether he is strolling by your side or relaxing at your feet, Axel carries himself with a quiet confidence that makes everyone around him feel at ease. Axel is a senior but with that comes the best part, a calm maturity, reliable temperament, and the kind of companionship that only a well-seasoned dog can offer. Axel’s Highlights ✔️ 7 year old Lab/Shepherd mix, approx. 69 lbs ✔️ Neutered and Microchipped ✔️ Gentle, affectionate, and easygoing ✔️ Reported to do well with dogs, cats, and children (Note from Previous Owner) ✔️ Treat motivated and eager to please ✔️ Calm presence with a constant happy expression ⭐ Sponsored Adoption Fee If you are looking for a steady companion who brings warmth, kindness, and an easy smile into every room, Axel is ready to be your sunshine. 📍 Come meet Axel at the Caroline County Humane Society 407 W. Belle Street, Ridgely, MD 21660 410 820 1600 www.carolinehumane.org adoptions@carolinehumane.org
