About Axel von Alsfeld

Axel von Alsfeld is a gorgeous 2-year-old German Shepherd with a beautiful, richly colored longer coat. This sweet and fluffy fellow warms up quickly to people and absolutely loves soaking up all the affection he can get. Axel is larger in size and can be strong, so he does need someone who can handle his size on walks. He is both brains and brawn, having mastered commands like "sit," "down," and "shake"—and he even understands them in Spanish! He's treat-motivated and enjoys training, so he is ready and willing to learn even more. Axel enjoys pup pals and did great in playgroup, and would be best paired with another playful dog if there's another dog in the home. He's not for cats. If you are looking for a big, sweet male who is eager to please, Axel is ready to greet you with a happy heart! He was rescued from a local animal shelter.

Ideal Home

Axel would do best in a home with another playful dog, as he enjoys the company of canine pals. He is not suited for a home with cats. He is a strong boy, so an adopter who can handle his size on walks is important.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns were mentioned in his description.

Training & Support

Axel is a smart and eager-to-please boy who already knows several commands and enjoys training. He is treat-motivated and ready to learn even more!
