***German Shepherd experience or equivalent breed experience is required*** Exquisite, noble, loyal and intelligent are just a few words to describe this majestic German Shepherd...meet Axel. Axel arrived as a stray, extremely fearful of people and the world around him. It took many weeks for him to begin trusting enough to let his fears subside. He has made tremendous strides gaining confidence and has excelled with daily positive reinforcement/training and activities. Axel is timid at first meet, but given the necessary patience and slow approach, he shines and will show you his very loving personality. We estimate Axel is approximately 1-1/4 years old (65 lbs.). As an intelligent, high-energy breed, he needs ample physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in challenging activities and exercise to keep boredom at bay. Long walks, trail hikes, playtime, continued positive reinforcement training and stability are all key to his success. Our goal is to see Axel thrive in a loving, safe and happy environment with people he trusts. Axel must meet any potential canine siblings to ensure compatibility. No cats. He needs an adult only home (ages 18 and up). He is not suitable for apartments/rentals/complexes. Axel can be met BY APPOINTMENT ONLY for approved applicants. Any interested adopters must meet with our professional dog trainer for a consultation. He will require continued training and consistent exercise and mental stimulation.
