Axel is a handsome ~2-year-old Boxer mix, weighing around 54 lbs. He has the confident demeanor of a dog who knows exactly what he wants and isn't afraid to go for it, whether it's a tasty treat or the role of "main character" in your life. Axel was found abandoned, which is a mystery to us because he's such a character! He approaches life with enthusiasm and optimism, turning walks into exciting adventures. He's incredibly smart, especially when it comes to practical matters like food motivation and learning new things, thriving with clear and consistent guidance. Axel is friendly with people, taking a moment to assess you before deciding you pass the vibe check. He would do best in a home with older children who understand personal space and adults who appreciate a dog with a strong personality. While social with other dogs, particularly those of the opposite sex, Axel is also content being a solo star. He can be a bit bossy during play, but it's more about his belief in leadership than aggression. He prefers calmer environments and is not a fan of cats. At home, Axel is a well-behaved companion, reliably potty and crate trained, and happy to settle down after his exercise needs are met. His energy is moderate, making him a great fit for apartment living with consistent exercise or a home with a yard. Axel is looking for patient, confident, and humorous humans who understand and appreciate dogs for who they are, quirks and all.
