My story

Axl (watch my video!) Male, neutered 1 year old Pit Bull Terrier 52 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Good with dogs; untested with cats Axl was found as a stray and ended up on the notorious "urgent" list at a local shelter. Little is known about his previous life, but we can assume two things -- 1) he is a stray because he likes going on adventures, to include scaling a chain link fence like the teenage boy that he is and 2) he was somebody's snuggle bug because he needs love ALL.THE.TIME! When I say that this guy is a master snuggler, I mean SNUGGLE ME NOW kinda lovins are necessary or he will make dinosaur noises about it. Oh, that's how he talks... he also makes dino noises when he needs to go outside for a potty break. Axl was aptly named because of his beautiful mascara and eyeliner. He had to be part of a band in the 80s, right?! Axl would love starting his day with morning snuggles before going out to potty. He's a quick eater so takes his meals in an enrichment puzzle. He's nosey and loves to look out the window and sniff around like a detective. He asks for belly rubs by getting in position -- he even asks the couch to rub his belly! Yup, you heard that right, the couch! Axl has a very waggy tail and is working on his manners with not jumping or trying to smell things on the counter -- it's just so exciting! He will make you stay by sitting on your feet and he will let you know if you're petting him wrong. When it's too cold for walks, he needs some enrichment to keep him occupied, but who doesn't get bored on cold days? Axl would love a family to give him all the pets and lovins and he enjoys a good car ride. He's a fun boy with lots of silly antics. Oh, one last thing, Axl can catch treats in his mouth! Interested in adopting? Of course you are!
