*Axle is being fostered in Fresno, California.*
I’d like you to meet Axle. Axle is an 8 year old Rat Terrier weighing in at about 18 pounds.He is a loving, smart and playful guy. Axle is healthy and happy; he does have cataracts in both eyes. That doesn’t stop his from doing the things he loves like playing fetch, tug o war, soccer, and “Find It”, etc. Axle was taught in his former home several commands that he still understands and uses daily. It’s very sad that such a great dog like this was not found by his humans. It’s obvious to his foster mom, that someone has spent a lot of time training him. It doesn’t appear that he was abused in any manner. Axle is house trained, crate trained, uses a doggie door, has good recall, walks on a leash with a harness well, is a great watch dog and will even talk to you when he wants to play. Driving in the car is on the top of his list of fun things to do. Even though Axle’s cataracts sure doesn’t have any trouble when he plays fetch and the “Find It” game and all the other games he begs to play daily. He’ll even play by himself if he has to. Axle gets along with his foster canine brother and sister well, but would love to be an only dog or with another female dog.

I’m Axle’s foster mom. He is a great dog. I hope he finds his forever home soon also. He really does deserve his own family to play fetch with and cuddle with.
Thanks for commenting on him

posted May 13th, 2011 at 11:10 pmWe think Axle is about 7 or 8 years old. He is a wonderful guy. He’s laying here with me on the couch now. Earlier he was playing tug-o-war with my husband. He would make a great addition to most families.
Oh my, he is so adorable!! I wish I could squeeze him into my household.
