Story
Hey there, humans! I'm Axel, the cutest little bundle of energy you'll ever meet! Just look into my GORGEOUS eyes, and you'll be smitten. My story starts off a bit dramatic-imagine a soap opera with fur! I was found wandering the streets with my mom. Right after some lovely rescue ladies scooped us up, my former owner showed up and said, "I'll take the mom but leave the pup." And just like that, I became a rescued pup (because I was the last of an unwanted litter.) Talk about a plot twist!
Since then, I've been crashing at a foster home and learning all sorts of new tricks. Walking on a leash? Nailed it! Living without mom was tough at first, but I've adjusted like a champ. I'm also getting the hang of this whole crate and housetraining business. You could say I'm a fast learner, but don't expect me to figure out quantum physics anytime soon!
Almost everything is new to me since I wasn't exactly socialized in my previous digs. I'm on a mission to learn more and more each day, so I'm on the lookout for a family that's got the time and patience to help me on my educational journey.
Oh, and did I mention I'm a social butterfly? I get along with dogs, kids, and even cats! Though I must confess, my puppy enthusiasm might be a bit much for the feline friends-I'm still working on my gentle side.
Now, let's talk breed: I'm an Australian Cattle Dog, which means I'm basically a furry bundle of intelligence and energy. We're known for our smarts, loyalty, and, let's be honest, our stubborn streak. I need mental stimulation and lots of exercise to keep me happy and healthy. Understanding my breed is key to understanding me, so if you're ready for a fun, energetic, and slightly mischievous pup, then I'm your guy!
So, if you're up for the adventure, let's create our own sitcom filled with laughter, learning, and a lot of love!
