Axel

My story

Meet Axel! Up for adoption in Texas only! This 1.5-year-old Lab/Hound mix is a sweet, slightly clumsy cuddlebug with a heart full of love and legs that sometimes can’t quite keep up! Axel may be a little shy when first meeting new people or exploring new places, but give him just a little time and he’ll be your new best friend—ready to play, snuggle, and follow you around with those big curious eyes. Axel loves the water, adores his toys, and is happiest romping around with his dog buddies. He’s food-motivated and smart, though he has a mischievous streak when it comes to counter surfing and pulling things off tables or shelves (we’re working on it!). He’s still learning, but always with the best intentions and a tail that never stops wagging. Car rides aren’t his favorite—he gets a bit motion sick—but we’re hoping with more practice, that might improve. Even so, Axel is always excited for the adventure on the other side of the ride. He just wants to be where the love is. Axel would thrive in a home with a playful dog friend and people who understand that a little patience will go a long way. Once he settles in, you’ll find he’s the sweetest, silliest, most loyal cuddle buddy around. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.
