My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Axl (watch my video!)

Male, neutered
1 year old
Pit Bull Terrier
52 lbs.
Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention
Good with kids and dogs; untested with cats

Axl was found as a stray and ended up on the notorious "urgent" list at a local shelter. Little is known about his previous life, but we can assume two things -- 1) he is a stray because he likes going on adventures, to include scaling a chain link fence like the teenage boy that he is and 2) he was somebody's snuggle bug because he needs love ALL.THE.TIME! When I say that this guy is a master snuggler, I mean SNUGGLE ME NOW kinda lovins are necessary or he will make dinosaur noises about it. Oh, that's how he talks... he also makes dino noises when he needs to go outside for a potty break. Axl was aptly named because of his beautiful mascara and eyeliner. He had to be part of a band in the 80s, right?! Axl would love starting his day with morning snuggles before going out to potty. He's a quick eater so takes his meals in an enrichment puzzle. He's nosey and loves to look out the window and sniff around like a detective. He asks for belly rubs by getting in position -- he even asks the couch to rub his belly! Yup, you heard that right, the couch! Axl has a very waggy tail and is working on his manners with not jumping or trying to smell things on the counter -- it's just so exciting! He will make you stay by sitting on your feet and he will let you know if you're petting him wrong. When it's too cold for walks, he needs some enrichment to keep him occupied, but who doesn't get bored on cold days? Axl would love a family to give him all the pets and lovins and he enjoys a good car ride. He's a fun boy with lots of silly antics. Oh, one last thing, Axl can catch treats in his mouth!

More about this rescue

LOVEPAWS was founded as an animal intake prevention program to help keep pets in homes and out of shelters. To do this, we offer various types of assistance to pet owners including our pet food pantry and our re-homing service. We help find new homes for pets whose owners cannot keep them but do not want to surrender their pet to the shelter. While our focus is on Prince George’s County, MD, we offer these services to the entire DC Metro area.

Our scope and mission has grown quickly since we were founded in 2019 and we now pull dogs and cats from open-admission, high-intake shelters in MD, VA and other Southern states. This has expanded our rescue to be able to save dogs and cats of all breeds. Our expanded mission is to save the lives of abandoned dogs and cats and place them in loving and permanent homes. While we are a non-breed-specific rescue, we are a pittie-friendly rescue that has a soft spot for the pit bulls at the Prince George’s County animal shelter. They face the heartbreaking reality of the county’s pit bull ban which makes them unavailable for adoption to the public. We are committed to stepping forward whenever we can and wherever there is the greatest need.

LOVEPAWS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an exclusively foster-based rescue with our foster network spanning MD, DC, and VA.
