AXEL  is a shy at first but very lovable and  playful once he realizes you arent here to hurt him. He has a sweet side but is silly more often than not. AXEL  was found as a stray running the streets of California.  He Was taken to the local shelter there and pretty much a of the shelters are at overload all the time. Our rescue drove out to California  and saved almost 30 dogs from being euthanized in just 1 day. We brought all of them back to Michigan to find their forever homes.  Since AXEL has not been around kids but has seen them playing on The other side of the fence and seemed more curious than anything. I personally  believe  she would be ok with kids as lo g as they could respect her space. AXEL  has see the cat and barked at him but not in a aggressive way. I believe with  proper introduction  he should  do ok. AXEL started crate trained the day he got to Michigan  6/22/22 and has done excellent in his crate training so if a adopter continues with crate training housebreaking should  go quite well.
