  — Ashlyn M.

• “I was rescued by my new family in May 2022. I was found in the woods near a camp ground in Mt Juliet. I had some training and I’m very smart.“

  — Amber M.

• “Axle is a 6 month old Anatolian Shepard/dutch shepard/ great Pyrenees mix who is full of personality! He's super sweet and fun and loves to play. Also loves to lounge on the couch! His flock is our family so he is always watching out for us!“

  — Jax L.

• “Hi my name is Axle. I am just an old man who likes to sleep and watch his brother play fetch (he is CRAZY). I wish I was an only child, but my dad HAD to get me a brother. I don’t like anyone other than my brother. I also think it’s funny that I only listen to my dad. I LOVE food and laying out in the sun (don’t bother me). I take stranger danger very seriously and protect my family. Squirrels are my worst enemy and I don’t like them in my yard AT ALL!!! I used to live in a farm with my dad but he moved into town. Now I have to stay on a leash when I want to go outside :( My favorite words are: WALK, TREAT, and CUDDLE. I might look mean at times but I am very good with children. I love to go to grandma’s house because she lives on a farm where I can roam and annoy her dogs. Mom thinks she can tell me what to do, but I only listen to dad… hehe :)“

  — Rowan K.

• “Axle is fear reactive and doesn't like anything with wheels, he is learning not to react to other dogs. In our home Axle is a big goof ball, he got married young to Koda Bear and they had 13 beautiful babies. we currently had 1 left named Gemma Jade who is almost 2 years old.“

  — Mari M.

• “I'm the big brother of my packages. I'm 9 yrs old and very non confrontational. He is losing his eyesight but is doing well.“

  — Christina Dawn E.

• “Axle is a huge baby. He knows no stranger, and is more afraid of an angry chihuahua than meeting new friends. Although very stubborn at times, he knows commands such as sit, lay, shake, stay, wait, and we are working on a few more.“

  — Emily A.

• “Large dominant neutered male dog. He’s really friendly. But likes to exert “pack alpha” which can make other dogs upset“

  — Ariana C.

• “My name is Axle! I am 4.5 years old with almost the same energy as when I was a puppy! I LOVE to play ball with my humans and run around with friends! I could basically live in the water, I’m OBSESSED with swimming! Any chance to swim, I am running full speed into it and good luck getting me out! I am pretty easy going for the most part, but I have no problem correcting a little pup if they get in my face too excited. I tend to get anxious at first around dogs that are much bigger than me. If they get in my face before I have a chance to dismiss the “threat”, I will let them know I do not like that immediately. Otherwise, with a brief moment to acknowledge we are all friends, I love meeting dogs of all sizes!“

  — Ashley F.

• “I'm a sweet old guy, my mom says I'm an OG and she even got me a gold chain for my birthday. I'm 100% handsome. I have had a very good life for 15 years. I have been a good brother to my siblings and lots of fosters. I use to play ball for hours every day with my mom but now my arthritis really limits my mobility. I prefer stuffy toys and tug and cuddles and just chilling. Every day is the best day.“

  — Angela A.

• “I am the best boy on the whole world. I love my ball and my rope. I get very excited but when I calm down I'm just a big cuddle bug. Treats are my favorite“

  — Kristen S.

• “Hi, I’m Axle! I have the most energy and am the youngest of my pack. I love to run and chase toys.“

  — Megan A.
