Male Dog, Norwegian Elkhound
Norwegian Elkhound / Akita / Mixed (Long Coat)
Description:
Axel is an incredibly handsome Norwegian Elkhound mix who joined his foster pawrents in November. Axel was surrendered to a high kill shelter when his old family had to move, and as an owner surrender he ended up on the urgent list rather quickly. While at the shelter, Axel became a volunteer favorite because of his good looks and sweet demeanor. He’s got it all - loves to go for walks, can run and play in the yard, and since he’s about 5 years old and settling down he also loves to hit the couch and cuddle up next to you. He will even tell you it’s bedtime and gently nudge you to bed if you’re running behind- a great boy for anyone trying to stick to a new year's resolutions for more sleep. Axel has loved all people so far and seems to do well with other respectful dogs but would be happy as an only pet as well. Due to his size, we would recommend older kids. Axel has been an absolute joy and cannot wait to make his new family super happy! Axel is 55 lbs. Please email us at [email protected] for an application. (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area South Jersey and northern Delaware only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
