About Axel
Please meet Axel who was born May 2021. He is vaccinated and neutered. We believe he is a Malinois cross GSD. We were asked to take Axel in from other kennels where he had been taken in by the police and this is what we were told:
“I’ve received this message from my boss asking if you can help. This is a new dog that came in on Friday. Very nervous aggressive but actually quite sweet when he knows you but will definitely bark and in the wrong hands bite. But before he gets put down I just wanted to see if Lizzy would give him a chance but only if it’s not a problem for her. I feel a bit sorry for him only 6 months old and been in 3 or 4 homes already and deserves a chance. “
How could we say no!
Axel is GREAT with ALL other animals and spent a time in foster on a small holding where he met horses, goats, chickens, goats, cats and other dogs of all shape and size. He was initially kenneled but was slowly brought into the house where he started to settle, but sadly has never had the opportunity of a long term home. A no to children because of his history and nervous aggression.
“Axel has nervous aggression when meeting new people but has become more mellowed over time. He still barks but is overcoming this very quickly. Axel loves other animals and would love a home with other animals.”
Axel just needs that special home and in return you will get a super loyal dog.
