IN MEMORIAM OF KARL KNAPP

A true animal lover, compassionate rescuer, and stellar friend. Today and every day, we rescue in honor of Karl Knapp.

PAWSOME PUP OF THE MONTH

  • MEET AXEL!

    AGE: 3 Years
    SEX: Male
    BREED: Pitbull Mix

    šŸ¾šŸ’™ Meet Axel: Your Gentle Giant Waiting to Come Home šŸ’™šŸ¾
    173 days in care—and still searching for his forever family.
    šŸ’« This month only: Take $100 off Axel’s adoption fee! šŸ’«

    Axel isn’t just our Dog of the Month—he’s the heart and soul of the pack. For nearly six months, this big, beautiful boy has been patiently waiting for the right person to see what we all see: a kind, mellow companion with so much love to give.

    Who is Axel?
    He’s part couch potato, part soulful sidekick, and 100% good boy. He greets new friends gently, leans in for quiet affection, and will never say no to a lazy morning snuggle or a sunny nap on the porch.

    Once Axel lets you in, he’s all in—nudging you softly with his nose, curling up close, and offering that steady, loyal presence only a rescue dog can provide.

    šŸ›‹ļø House-trained and crate-comfy
    šŸŽ“ Knows his basic cues (and a few tricks!)
    šŸ• Dog-friendly with slow intros
    🐱 Cat-curious and respectful
    šŸš— Loves car rides, fresh air, and chill time
    🌿 Will absolutely pee on every shrub. It’s his thing. We don’t question it.

    Inside the home, Axel is calm and polite. Outside, he blossoms in open spaces, where leash pressure melts away and his mellow nature shines through. He’s not high-maintenance—he just needs a calm, secure home with a fenced yard, some patience, and someone to finally say: you’re home.

    šŸ’™ Bonus feature: Axel is the softest alarm clock you’ll ever meet. He’ll gently wake you with a nuzzle, never a bark. (We should all be so lucky.)

    After 173 days in foster care, Axel is so ready for his happily-ever-after.
    If your heart is open and your couch has room, come meet him. You might just find the dog you’ve been waiting for, too.

    šŸ“ Ready to adopt or learn more? Reach out today—and don’t forget: Axel’s adoption fee is $100 off through the end of the month!
