AXEL 3yr m Rottweiler
Available for adoption 💕
Axel came to me as a confused rottweiler teenager, owner surrendered for being - a confused, rottweiler teenager. These gentle guardians take an understanding of the breed's needs and inherent nature. Even if youve had rottweilers before, myself included I've had 2, every dog is an individual, just like us.
Axel is a very soft natured, old soul who appreciates a quiet, calm, knowledgeable handler. He has great obedience, a quiet demeanor, low energy, and is very balanced with other dogs (hes our #1 babysitter now, equal to Mama Sugar), and needs a breed experienced home.
In the video attached you'll see a 7mos Axel learning balanced social skills from the pack we created one by one to help new pups coming in. So important for dogs to learn from their own species in a safe setting, and to have calm leadership from their humans.
Fast forward, Axel has become the gentle big brother to a great many new, unstable teenagers coming into the rescue. When out in big pack play groups, Axel prefers to toodle along at my side and disregard the crowd. He loves affection and cookies, but prefers affection. Kindness and a soft touch wins overall with this gentleman. Video of his back seat driving in the comments.
Knowledge of his breed is very important because, well, hes a rottweiler. He will never be a golden retriever, pit bull, or chihuahua. He carries himself with calm dignity and was bred to make independent decisions, to be loyal, and protective. Sometimes it takes an extra minute for Axel to make a decision and that is just OK. Hes supposed to. Rottweilers appreciate routine, stability, and a loyal companion.
Axel has been to our Lake Siskiyou Hike Days and enjoys ambling the shady trails tremendously, happily going along with strangers, 100lbs of happy puppy. He has impeccable leash manners, loose leash walking for anyone, everywhere. He loads right up in the van and got his own b***y up all by himself finally!
To inquire about and meet this ridiculously handsome boy, please send us a PM with information about yourself and a number to reach you- and - Thank you for choosing rescue 🐾
