Meet Axel (Round 2, Let's Do This Right)
Axel (D-5801) is a 2-year-old shepherd looking for his forever home. This time, we’re being honest, so he lands where he truly belongs.
Axel was adopted and returned after it became clear small children aren’t his thing. He’s not a jump-in-your-arms dog—more of a slow-burn friendship type. Think introvert, not party animal.
What we’ve learned: Axel is chill, polite, and laid-back once he knows you. He gets along with other dogs, does well with cats, and is both leash and crate-trained. He knows several commands, including sit, down, paw, and kennel. Smart and capable, Axel prefers to build trust at his own pace.
Axel takes longer than most to warm up, but when he does, you’ll see his soft, vulnerable side. Each day, he comes out of his shell a little more.
His ideal home is with adults or older teens in a calm, patient environment. Axel needs people who understand that building trust takes time and not all dogs bond right away.
Axel isn’t broken or stubborn; he’s just thoughtful and wants to feel safe before he commits. If you believe trust is earned and bonds are built, Axel might be your perfect match.

Meet Mufasa, a sleek black cat whose unforgettable personality and resilience have made him a standout among shelter animals. Fixed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, Mufasa is ready to rule a forever home.
Shelter officials say Mufasa is seeking a patient human willing to build trust and earn his loyalty. After being found weak and thin, he has thrived with frequent wet food meals and attentive care. With understanding and kindness, this resilient feline blossoms into a deeply rewarding companion.
Mufasa prefers calm spaces and respectful affection, choosing to interact on his own terms. Shelter staff encourage potential adopters who appreciate independent animals and are committed to providing a gentle environment.
