high-kill shelter after his previous owners wer e forced to move and couldn’t take him along. Believed to be a mix of Elkhound and Akita, Axel is not only strikingly handsome but also uniquely charming Highly intelligent, joyful, and full of energy, Axel thrives on playtime—he especially loves chasing tennis balls and playing games like hide-and-seek in the yard. He’s the kind of dog who will keep you laughing with his enthusiasm and cleverness. He’ll sit between your legs while you prepare his meals, nudge you gently when he wants attention, and even remind you when it’s bedtime—curling up beside you if allowed. Axel loves the outdoors and would do best with a securely fenced yard where he can explore freely. He prefers to be the only dog in the home as his previous owner stated that he is not used to living with other dogs, but his lively personality and deep affection more than make up for it—he’s all the dog you’ll need! He’s fully house-trained, non-destructive when left alone, and always happy just being wherever you are. Axel needs some work learning how to walk on leash without pulling but that’s true for most dogs who were never trained to walk on leash. His foster mom and dad are working with him on this and he is enjoying the walks with them. Axel is 5 years old and about 55 lbs. He would do best in a home with older teenagers or adults as he is used to a lower traffic household. Axel adapts quickly to new routines and will greet you every day with a wagging tail and a happy heart. His fosters are confident that Axel will bring warmth, laughter, and endless love to the right home. He’s just waiting for someone to give him that chance. If this special guy sounds like the right fit for you send us an email at almosthome4dogsyahoo to inquire! (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogsyahoo. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
