Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: 410. Axl (watch my video!) Male, neutered 1 year and 8 months old Pit Bull Terrier 61 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Good with dogs; untested with cats Axl was found as a stray and ended up on the notorious "urgent list" at the Prince Georges County animal shelter. Luckily, Lovepaws Rescue took Axl into their care and gave him a second chance at life! At just 1 year and 8 months old, Axl is in the prime of his life! He’s the perfect combination of playful charm and curious intelligence, with just the right touch of goofiness to keep you smiling. With the energy of a teenager and the heart of a loyal friend, Axl brings enthusiasm to everything he does! He is known for his signature full-body cuddles and has rightfully earned the title of Master Cuddler! Whether he's lounging in the sun, watching the neighborhood from his second-story window perch, catching treats mid-air, or playing hide-and-seek (hint: check the closet laundry basket or under the bed), he’s always up for a good time! Axl is not just about fun though! He is house-trained, crate-trained, and completed a 5-week professional training program where he learned commands such as: Sit, Stay, Come, Place, Heel, and Crate. He patiently waits for his meals and for his cue before heading outdoors. He is currently working on commands like: Down and Paw and has come a long way with getting used to his paws being touched. He is still working on leash manners and is getting used to his nails being trimmed. Axl's adopter will be provided with a complimentary training session from his trainer. Axl does well with other dogs after proper introductions and some time to adjust and learn the house rules. He thrives in a calm, structured home with patient, dog-savvy humans who are willing to continue reinforcing his training and who appreciate a dog with personality and heart. Due to his enthusiastic style of affection, Axl would do best in a home without children. So if you're looking for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate dog who’s ready to be your closest companion, Axl will be the perfect match! He’s ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of cuddles into his forever home. Also, check out Axl’s Instagram to learn more about him: lovepaws_axl Interested in adopting? Of course you are!
