AXEL is a 4 year old, 11 pound Terrier mix who was found as a stray. He had been spotted for several days before somebody was able to get him to safety. AXEL is the sweetest little boy who just loves to be loved! We will probably never know his history and he was terrified when we first got him, but now he is a happy cuddler. He smiles when he is happy and follows his foster mom everywhere, especially when he thinks she is leaving the house. He just wants to be with his person. Axel gets along with all of the dogs in his foster home and would be happy with a small calm dog or as an only dog getting all the attention for himself. He can be scrappy with other dogs if they are in his face. He is good on a leash and sits very well in a doggie car seat for car rides. He is working on his potty training and is doing very well, but may mark in a new home until he learns the routine and what is expected of him. He loves to sleep in the bed snuggled next to person or at the bottom of the bed. AXEL has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, fecal tested, has had 12 month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. He is heartworm positive and has been started on treatment. That treatment and testing are covered by the rescue until he is heartworm negative. It was determined that at some point he had a broken leg but it is an old injury and needs to be done with that. MORE about AXEL: We have not had him around cats since we have had him. He can be snippy if you move fast toward him and startle him. For that reason, if there are children in the home they need to be older, 12+.
