Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Hi there, I'm Axel, and I am a 3.5 year old German Shepherd who is looking for just the right home. I am a sweet, playful boy when you get to know me. I am a loyal dog who will be sure to watch over your home and your family as I am true to my breed. I would love to have a job protecting my family. While I do not love strangers, give me some time and go slow and I will become your best friend. Let me show you my goofy side as I am a clinger and I will lay all over you to give you kisses and I love to swing my big ol' feet at you as well when I play. I love to play ball and tug and will give you lots of love and laughs. A home with previous breed experience is a plus but not mandatory but definitely dog experience will be a must. If you remember me, I was adopted from the shelter in early 2025, but unfortunately my owner was losing their home and could not keep me. They were devastated to have to return me to the shelter environment because I am such a good dog, but there was nothing they could do. In that home, I was used for protection purposes and that is what I am used to. I did well with the kids in the home, other dogs that frequently visited and I even lived peacefully with a house cat! I bond very close with my people and I am a sweet, loving boy that is a big baby and cuddlebug. I am crate trained and had no problems using my crate as my safe place.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at infoawlwarsaw if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
