Meet Axl, an 11 year old male Golden Retriever. Axl was found as a stray in Midtown Atlanta and the person that found him looked for his owner for a couple of days to no avail so she called us. We took him in thinking he was around 8 years old and named him “Dexter”. We sent a volunteer to go pick “Dexter” up and she reported that he was very sweet, full of energy and seemed younger then 8. Right after “Dexter” was dropped off at our vet we were contacted by a person who had lost their dog in Midtown. His name was Axl Rose and if we found him, could we find him a home because she had moved and left him with a friend to find a home for him. So we did just that – now is he in a wonderful home and plans to stay. His new mom works from home most days and is a true dog lover. He also has a human sister who is at college but comes home for frequent visits. She certainly made sure to be home for Axl’s first night as an official family member. He also has a human brother and an 11 year old Golden sister named Piper too. They met at adoption day and instantly knew that Axl was the one for them. Axl’s first day in his new home was very exciting for all. After breakfast he was treated to a spa day by his new human sister, complete with doggie shower and hair blow-drying! Then, Piper learned the rules of having a brother – no more leisurely eating and no more hiding bones for later enjoyment. However, we have a feeling that after a little bonding time she’ll be more than happy to share.
