0729 Axel

My story

Axel is fostered in Pekin, IL.   Axel and his brother (Clutch) found themselves homeless after their owner passed.  Axel is a 45 lb blue merle male Australian Shepherd.  We're guessing him to be roughly 8-11 years young and you definitely wouldn't know it by his actions. Both boys are super active and wonderful dogs for (what we were told were) their ages.   Axel is very sweet and super eager to please.  Axel LOVES attention. Axel has done well with his crate - going in easily and quickly, settling down, and no whining.  He has great house manners and likely does not even need to be crated.  He and his foster dad have crashed on the couch together a few times and he’s still right there when I wake up in the middle of the night…no accidents or destruction. Axel has an occassional spurt of excitement with the cat, where he either completely ignores or goes into herding mode, so a dog-savvy cat would be recommended.  His ideal home would have a physically fenced yard.  Axel has done well with grooming - brushing, nail trims, bathing, etc.  Axel also enjoys riding in the car, walks well on a leash and is overall, a pretty happy boy.  Axel is starting to show an interest in fetch and frisbee.  He has done well socializing with people, teenagers and other dogs of all sizes.   Axel is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org. NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2250501##
