About Aksel

Aksel is a charming Pug/Chihuahua mix looking for a loving forever home. At two years old, he weighs just over ten pounds and is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Initially shy, Aksel warms up quickly and becomes a sweet and social companion. Aksel does well with other dogs but hasn't been tested with cats. He's got a low to medium energy level and requires minimal grooming. This little guy came to us from animal control, possibly the sibling of another pup named Elizabetta. They both share adorable pug and chi features that are hard to resist. It's essential to note that Aksel needs to be monitored outside due to his small size. He thrives best in a home without small children, as a calm environment will help him settle in more easily. While he is likely to learn house training with patience, this cannot be guaranteed right away. You won’t regret bringing Aksel into your life. He promises loyalty and love in return for a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
