Axel von Alsfeld is a gorgeous 2 year old long haired 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 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! Rescued from a local animal shelter. Axel is located at the Westside rescue facility in Los Angeles, CA, but can be adopted and transported anywhere is the US and Canada. Transport costs vary based on destination.
