My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Axel's Compatibility:
Dogs - Meet & Greet
Cats - Experienced with feline housemates
Kids - Teens are great!

Meet Axel, a young and energetic Pit Bull Terrier mix with a big heart who's ready to find a home where he can truly shine! Axel is full of potential, and with the right family, he will thrive with patience, love, and positive reinforcement training.

Axel is a smart boy who loves to stay active, and he'll do best with a family that enjoys keeping him both mentally and physically engaged. Think puzzle feeders, scent games, and learning new tricks! He's shown that he can get along with other dogs, but he needs slow introductions and a little time to feel comfortable around them. With some guidance, Axel is sure to build his confidence in new situations and around new friends.

Axel does need a little help learning to love his crate, as it's been a source of stress for him in the past. With patience, tasty treats, and a gentle approach, he can learn to feel safe and comfortable. He'd do best in a home with older teens, where everyone understands how to respect his boundaries and help him feel secure.

Since Axel is a bit of an escape artist, he'll need a home with a secure 6-foot privacy fence or someone dedicated to keeping him safe on walks. If you're looking for a dog who's ready for a fresh start and are committed to providing him with the guidance and support he needs, Axel will be your loyal companion for life.

Are you the one to help Axel grow and thrive? He's ready and waiting!

More about this shelter

With an open admission policy, a No-Kill philosophy, and more than 3,100 animals crossing our threshold each year, we have still maintained a 98% placement rate over the last 3 years.

This is an amazing feat for any organization…let alone one that takes in some of the most abused, injured and seriously ill animals imaginable.
