Axel

Fostered in Mobile AL<br/><br/>If youve ever dreamed of sharing your couch with a 165-pound lap dog, Axel is your guy.<br/><br/>This handsome 5-year-old merle Great Dane is equal parts giant and gentle. Weighing in at an impressive 165 pounds, Axel enjoys a little playtime now and then, but his favorite hobbies are lounging, soaking up belly rubs, and convincing you that personal space is overrated. Hes incredibly affectionate and isnt shy about asking for attention, offering sweet, low grumbles and gentle nose nudges until you give him the love he knows he deserves.<br/><br/>Axel is wonderful with other dogs and does great with children. Hes currently living with a male Mastiff/Lab mix and gets along beautifully. Hes house-trained, crate-comfortable, well-mannered, and listens well—truly an all-around gentleman.<br/><br/>Like many Danes, Axel does have some separation anxiety, so hed thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day or isnt gone for extended periods. Hell also happily supervise all of your daily activities, including bathroom breaks, because he believes life is simply better together.<br/><br/>The only warning we can offer? Youll need to embrace the signature Great Dane drool—especially after a drink of water. Axel doesnt just take a sip; he shares it with everyone nearby.<br/><br/>Axel is currently heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment using the slow-kill protocol, including a ProHeart 12 injection and a course of doxycycline. He is doing great, and his adopter will simply need to keep him on his treatment plan while he continues on his journey to becoming heartworm-free. Northwest Florida Great Dane Rescue will gladly discuss his treatment and answer any questions with potential adopters.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a loyal best friend, an oversized cuddle buddy, and a gentle giant who will fill your home with love (and a little slobber), Axel is ready to claim a spot on your couch—and in your heart.<br/><br/>The adoption fee for Axel is $350. He comes fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. <br/><br/>To read over the adoption requirements before applying to adopt Axel, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport dogs. All approved adopters are required to travel to pick up the dog in person from his or her foster parent at their home.
