About Axl

Axl is a really great dog in most respects and because he is an active guy, he should probably be in a home with kids older than 5 years old. The reason is because Axl is strong and wants to play and he knocks little kids down. Of course if he had a firm hand to train him basic commands and simmer his spirit a little bit he would get along even with younger kids. He LOVES kids and tries to play with them all the time. Axl love human attention, something he missed out on in his early life. He weighs roughly 60 lbs and as with most Boxers, he 'kidney beans' around, knocking over things out of excitement. Plus he has a natural tail that whips pretty hard and rapidly with all that excitement but hey that is what most dogs do.. He is on a eating schedule to monitor his potty breaks. He actually DOES know the sit command, but he can be stubborn. He'll sit if there's an incentive (a treat, etc.). He comes immediately when you call him and stops any bad behavior the minute you tell him 'No' or make a corrective sound. He is very eager to please as he loves his humans and it makes him so happy to spend time with them. He likes to chase a ball but doesn't necessarily return it to you. He is not food aggressive at all; he's allowed me to reach into his bowl when he's eating; he also allows you to take a toy from his mouth, so I have no concerns about his overall temperament. The only real issue has been he doesn't realize he's a big, strong dog! He LOVES attention and to play! Oh he is a nosey guy and wants to go out the front door and can be a flight risk with the door standing wide open. He will come back when called but he sees it as a game and fun to dart out the front door. ! He does not run out the back door because that is the door he goes potty!! , but I think that's only because when we put him out, it's always in the backyard, so he doesn't WANT to go out there! :) Axl has all of the Boxer characteristics and traits. He is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, already neutered and micro-chipped and has his rabies shot and certificate. He's a very good natured dog and incredibly lovable. He will come with his food, treats, bed, collar, leash, etc.). All of this is included in his adoption fee of $175.00. His medical records will come with him at the time of adoption. Please note that Axl is NOT deaf just because he is all white. He comes when called and seems to love his name. He is a 3 years old with a lot of puppy left in him. It would be WONDERFUL to find someone to give him the attention he craves, take him on walks and interact with him because he LOVES attention!!
