About Axel

Axel is a charming little puppy, currently living in foster care near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He came into the world during a rescue from Oklahoma, born just after his mother found safety. Now, this playful and affectionate guy is eager for a forever home. At just a month old, Axel is exploring his surroundings and discovering what it means to be a puppy. He loves to play, cuddle, eat, and nap, especially alongside his siblings. As he grows, Axel will thrive in an environment that encourages his training and socialization, helping him evolve into a confident adult dog. Potential adopters should be prepared to invest time in training since puppies this age are typically not fully house trained. Axel is great with children, dogs, and even cats, making him an excellent addition to a family. He comes with age-appropriate vaccinations and will be neutered under a contract, with a $500 adoption fee. $100 will be reimbursed upon proof of neutering. If you’re ready to give Axel the loving home he deserves, please fill out the adoption application linked below. Thank you for considering this sweet little pup!
