Axel - Call for appt

Hi there, I'm Axel, and I am a 3.5 year old German Shepherd who is looking for just the right home. I am a sweet, playful boy when you get to know me. I am a loyal dog who will be sure to watch over your home and your family as I am true to my breed. I would love to have a job protecting my family. While I do not love strangers, give me some time and go slow and I will become your best friend. Let me show you my goofy side as I am a clinger and I will lay all over you to give you kisses and I love to swing my big ol' feet at you as well when I play. I love to play ball and tug and will give you lots of love and laughs.Update: I have completed a three week board and train with Marshall K9 and I did wonderful! To whoever adopts me, Marshall K9 is willing to give my adopters a free class on how to continue my training. A home with previous breed experience is a plus but not mandatory but definitely dog experience will be a must.If you remember me, I was adopted from the shelter in early 2025, but unfortunately my owner was losing their home and could not keep me. They were devastated to have to return me to the shelter environment because I am such a good dog, but there was nothing they could do. In that home, I was used for protection purposes and that is what I am used to. I did well with the kids in the home, other dogs that frequently visited and I even lived peacefully with a house cat! I bond very close with my people and I am a sweet, loving boy that is a big baby and cuddlebug. I am crate trained and had no problems using my crate as my safe place.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at [email protected] if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!
