About Axel
Stunning and Sweet
Axel is a huge catch - he just cannot understand why some lucky person out there hasn't snapped him up. Nor can his foster family. Don't be fooled by Axel's stunning good looks, this young man is also affectionate, intelligent and playful. At just one year of age, he has matured beyond a lot of naughty puppy behaviours, but he still has his whole life ahead of him and wants nothing more than to devote himself to his new family.
Axel is people orientated and wants to please. Because he is still a young fellow he does need to continue working on containing his excitment to see you - for this reason Axel would suit slightly older children better as he could accidently knock over little ones in his enthusiasm. He is a well mannered young man and has demonstrated good recall off lead. Axel loves other dogs and is fun and playful. He enjoys chasing a ball or frisbee, and has even started to give them back to you to throw again!
Dear Axel would ideally suit a home where there is another dog to bond with. He feels sad when left alone, but has been extremely well behaved when he has a fur-sibling to spend time alongside. However, if someone was willing to work through this with him, with lots of positive reinforcement and ways to keep him busy while you were out (enrichment toys), no doubt he would develop more confidence being left on his own. Please understand this doesn't happen overnight, but it certainly can be overcome with a patient and compassionate approach.
Axel has all the potential in the world for training - he would excel in agility sports and benefit from obedience training which is a great way to bond and spend time together. It's important to note that Axel thinks cats are food, not friends, so a home without a cat will save everyone the stress of trying to integrate the two.
This handsome, cheeky boy will make his special someone feel as though they are the centre of the universe. Indeed, as far as Axel is concerned, you will be. He deserves to have his potential fully recognised and in return, you will have a most loyal and sweet companion for many years to come.

During the 2 week trial period, should you decide that this dog is not for you, you are welcome to return the dog (the more notice the better, to ensure we have a foster carer available) and your payment will be retunded to you in full, within 3 business days of the return of the dog.
**PLEASE NOTE: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US BEFORE FILLING IN OUR ONLINE ADOPTION FORM**.
We are a volunteer run organisation, who have their own jobs during the day, we don't have someone manning our phones 24/7, therefore cannot respond to all inquiries immediately. The fastest way to have your questions answered is to include it in the application form. This will speed up your application with us, and help us communicate with you faster.
Please be patient with us, as the unpredictable nature of rescue may prevent us from clearing all enquiries regularly.
