My story

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

Meet Axel, the resilient and joyful pug with a spirit that can't be broken! Axel has been in rescue for more than 276 days—and in that time, 77 dogs have come in after him and found their forever homes before he did.

This sweet fawn boy was heartbreakingly left to fend for himself outside the animal control building when there was no space to take him in. Despite his challenging start and hind leg weakness, Axel hasn’t lost his zest for life. His back legs may be a little wobbly, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying a good chase with his dog buddies!

To help him navigate his world with confidence, the rescue has provided Axel with custom-fitted wheels, a harness, and booties—all included with his adoption to ensure he continues to thrive in his forever home. He’s a vocal boy who’ll let you know he misses you when he’s first left alone, but he settles down well in his kennel and understands potty time, though he may have a few “oops moments” due to his special needs.

With his big heart, playful energy, and incredible resilience, Axel is ready to find a family who’ll give him the love, care, and extra support he needs to live his best life. Are you ready to welcome this amazing pug into your home? Axel is ready to roll—literally—right into your heart! 💛
