My story

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

IDGSR Welcomes AXEL into the safety of the rescue!!

THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT

**************
Hiya! My name is Axel and I'm the most handsome 1.5-2yr old male black sable German Shepherd you'll ever meet! I'm located near Nashville TN and am available for transport.

I was rescued from a scary shelter and being in a foster home is so great! As you may see in my video, I need to gain some weight but don't worry, by the time you adopt me, I'll have put on the pounds and be ready to go!

Here are some fun facts about me & my ideal home!

1. I am a big boy and will probably be pretty large when I fill out this malnourished body. I need someone who is familiar with working line German Shepherds and can help me live my life to the fullest.

2. I'm friendly, playful, and have a high energy level. I need a home with a large fenced in yard to run and play in. I need to get all my energy out, a tired pup is a good pup!

3. I play great with other large breed dogs. It would be best for me to be in a home with *no* small dogs or cats.

4. I would LOVE to have a job and receive ongoing training. Obedience, both basic & advanced, and any specialized training would be amazing for me! I'm ultra smart & will learn anything you can teach me!

5. If you train me, I'll prove I'm the smartest and bestest boy around. It will make your neighbor Bob jealous that you have the most well behaved pup on the block.

6. Do you like walking, running, hiking, exploring, or chasing waterfalls? I do too! We could go together and have all sorts of adventures.

7. I hope you are my perfect forever home. I am the most handsome & bestest boy, I just need some training, love, & lots of treats!
