Axel is an angel with fur made of silk. He is a 10-month-old Anatolian Shepherd mix who weighs roughly 45 pounds. He has the most beautiful, long, soft tan coat with the cutest black muzzle that truly frames his stunning eyes perfectly. Axel is a very polite young man. He walks pretty well on a leash, knows how to sit, is extremely smart and proves even more every day that he LOVES to learn. To challenge Axel’s brain is to fulfill him. And the amazing thing about him is that he’s happy with almost any type of reward. Toys? He loves those. Positive Verbal Confirmations? He also responds well to those. Attention and Booty Scratches? He’s already falling in love. Seal the deal with some treats? He’s ready to move in! This kindhearted boy is now just waiting for a home that will allow him to continue to grow, learn, and show off just how smart he is! If you'd like to meet this beautiful boy when he arrives, please complete an adoption application and be sure to ask for AXEL SCAS!
