heart full of love. Axel first came to the shelter after his owner passed away. A well-meaning friend tried to care for him, but his energy was more than they could manage. He was later adopted, but recently returned due to a demanding work schedule that left little time for him. None of this was Axel’s fault—he’s just a young, active dog who thrives on time, attention, and consistency. Axel is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands. He walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is easy to bathe. He’s also great at the vet, making him an all-around well-mannered companion. Though he may be shy at first with new people, he warms up quickly—especially if you have treats! Once he’s comfortable, he’s affectionate, loyal, and loves to play. Axel is happiest when he feels included and engaged. He enjoys learning new things, going on walks, playing fetch, and just being part of your daily routine. He’s an intelligent pup who thrives with structure and will gladly soak up all the love and attention you can give. Axel would do best in a home with: • No other pets – Axel prefers being the center of attention and isn’t comfortable sharing his space with other animals. • Older children – Kids 10 and up who understand how to give him time to settle and space when needed. • An active lifestyle – Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are a must. He’d love a backyard or regular outdoor adventures. • A consistent, patient owner – Someone who can continue working with him, offer structure, and include him in everyday life. • Lots of attention and companionship – Axel is a people-focused pup who loves being around his humans. He bonds deeply and wants to be your shadow. Axel has so much love to give and is ready to start fresh with someone who understands his needs and is committed to giving him a forever home. If you're looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate companion, Axel is waiting to meet you.

  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.
