Axel, STAR # 1887

Axel—a gorgeous, 8-year-old red merle—is a sweet, gentle boy who thinks that he is a lapdog. He also likes to rest his chin on pillows and can squeeze his 54 pounds into any portion of a comfortable couch.

He plays very well with the Aussie in his foster home, likes to fetch a frisbee, and is learning to walk with a “gentle lead.” He is not aggressive with other dogs and is very food-motivated which will make further training easy.

He does like to look in the fridge and can swipe food off of a counter.  He spins on command!

We have no information on socializing with cats, but his first home exposed him to children and kennels. He is healthy, neutered, crate-trained, house-trained (no chewing, scratching, etc.).  He’s a lovely dog that’s ready to find his furever home.

Axel is being fostered in Austin, TX.
