Axel

Great news i've gone to my new home and i'm sooo happy. My name is axel and i'm 3 years old. I’ve been told i’m a handsome dark brindle boy with a white cravat. I’m in excellent condition. My teeth are perfect and white, my coat is shiny and my fitness is excellent. I love my walks and i don’t pull. I’m great in the car and love car rides and i’m perfect in the house too. The first year of my life was spent with a loving owner but to my shock he decided he didn’t want a dog anymore so dumped me onto new owners, who thought i’d be ok in a yard all alone all day, never allowed inside and rarely even taken for walks. Well that was so depressing that i had to try to escape and show them i really wanted to be with them inside the house but i only went next door to visit the neighbours as i wanted to be part of the family. My escape only resulted in a cage being built for me in the yard, and that was just about the worst thing you could wish on a dog! now that i’ve been rescued from that nightmare, i am thriving with the lovely lady that rescued me but she can't keep me as she has two other dogs. I try to show my sheer joy and appreciation by grunting with pleasure and doing just about anything asked of me – i’m a fast learner and only need to be told the rules. I make the family laugh a lot, and this encourages me to participate even more in their activities and to think up new tricks to show them. Recently i’ve learnt how to climb up the stairs to the slide and slide down it! and i love riding the skateboard too! i am great with children who are old enough to tell me what’s ok and what’s not (8+), and i would thrive in a home where i am truly a part of the family, where someone is home a lot. Given my past experiences i am not a dog who can be kept outside – this just makes me so unhappy that i cry like a baby! also given my lack of love in the last years i would prefer not to share my humans with other canines for now, and would be perfect as an only dog. If you think you could give me a loving forever home with all the above requests could you please go to stafford rescue victoria's website and fill out an adoption request form and after emailing it to jan could you please phone her on 0408 515 111
