Axel ~ American Bull Dog X PuppyO(on trial 18/2/2

If you are looking for a big, sweet boy to join your family than look no further, Axel is a 12-week-old American Bull dog x Boxer from a litter of 7 this boy has grown in size and confidence since coming into foster care with his sister Rose.

Axel is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle on the lounge after spending his day running in the back yard with his animal friends, getting better day by day with toilet training being a puppy he still needs ongoing support and understanding in this area as he loves to be able to be inside with the humans as well as loving laying in the sun or rain, he is the definition of a big goofy boy who will give you all the love in the world.

Axel along with his sister loves the company of other dogs and has been exposed to 2 x older Beagles who have been teaching them how to behave and a younger working dog at his foster home, so best fit for him would be a family with a Medium to large dog for company who wouldn't mind some puppy energy as at times he can be very bouncy in play and with him going to grow into a large dog best not to place him with small or older dogs who may not want such a big boy trying to play.

Axel has also been very fond of the cat with zero issues with aggression and will jump onto the cat tower to play, he also loves to hang with the chickens but at times can get a little too excited so pocket pets would need to be supervised in his company while he is still learning.
He also loves being with the foster families 6- and 8-year-old children being pushed in prams, cuddles, and tug a war with toys again he will grow to be a large dog and will require a family who can continue with his training and have a secure yard for him to run in.
Axel also has been on car trips to beach where he has loved digging in the sand and starting to walk on a leash.

We always recommend puppy- training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. Axel has learnt to sit and be calm to receive his food, very food orientated for training and will require a family to continue with his this, give him love and understanding and he will be the best mate anyone could want.

Axel currently sleeps in the spare bathroom with his sister on their favourite crochet blanket as they are too young to be outside at night- Axel is usually awake at 630/7 in the morning wanting to go outside to use the toilet and have his breakfast so he can become loud with puppy cry's when he wants attention. The bathroom has been a good option for overnight sleeping due to toilet needs overnight so Axels new family will need to find the best option where he can sleep safely and toilet train so there may be a few sleepless nights while he settles but once he does it will be smooth sailing.

As Axel is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he will need to be returned to a local vet for desexing when he is approximately 5/6 months old. Please NO out of area applications.
