Aksel von Anklam is a wonderful 6-7 year old German Shepherd. This gentle boy prefers to spend time getting to know new places and observing his surroundings. He walks on leash like the complete gentleman he is and, in playgroups, takes his time to take sun baths and meet other dogs in a peaceful fashion. Aksel is what we would call “low-maintenance,” in that he will not demand a game of fetch at six in the morning or insist on a brisk run every day. Instead, he is content to keep loving company with you wherever you go, -- and he promises to keep that spot on the couch open for you! The kennel experience can be disorienting for a shy, sweet dog like Aksel so, if you are interested in coming home every day to the perfect gentleman, don’t waste any time! Meet Aksel today!  His bags are packed and he is ready to “happy-ize” a home either in or out of state.
