Hi … my name is Axel! Read my bio to find out everything you need to know about me.  

If you think I might be the perfect pup for you, go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete the adoption application online.

NOTE:  Axel is too young to be neutered yet, so he will leave AAMR to go to an approved adopter under a Puppy Foster to Adopt Contract (details will be provided to approved adopter) with a date by which he must be neutered or he will come back to AAMR.  After his neuter, a final Adoption Contract will be signed.  Adopters must live within 50 miles of Evington, VA.

Axel (and his 2 brothers) were born on July 17, 2021, and Axel was the first born.  They are 3 little rock stars (thus the names).  He is a pom-chi (a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix) and we know his mom, Ash, is solid black and weighs about 9 lbs.  We were told that dad is another pom-chi, a little larger.  At 12 weeks, Axel weighed 5 lbs, so we’re guessing he might outweigh his mom before long!  Axel is the least brave of the litter. When he gets scared he will find a spot near his bed to try to hide! He can also be the loudest of the group when they are playing!  He and Ozzy have some marathon wrestling matches.  Axel is also a digger and he likes to steal toys from his brothers.  He is very snuggly, and he can hop like a bunny! 

Approximate age/birthdate:  July 17 2021

Weight/size:  at birth 6.1 oz, at 12 weeks 5 lbs 3 oz

Housebroken:  NO too young

Crate trained:  NO too young

Personality:  happy, sweet, loving, snuggly

Energy level:  full play mode to sound asleep in a matter of seconds

Fenced yard required?:  Definitely preferred.  He should never be outside a fenced area off-leash.  Even inside a fenced yard, he should never be left alone.  Birds of prey can easily grab these tiny toy dogs and take them away.  Be cautious.

Does he/she jump fences?  NO

Leash walk with manners:  NO … still a bit small for leash walking.  If leash walking, he should be wearing a harness, never a leash attached to a collar, which can contribute to trachea injuries.

Obedience training:  NO

Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK although he gets a little nervous riding         

Spayed/neutered:   NO … date to be determined

Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES

Microchipped:   NOT YET – will be microchipped while under anesthesia for neuter

Social with other dogs:  Has only been around his mom and his littermates.  He will need to be introduced to new dogs slowly and carefully.

Social with cats: Has not been around cats in foster home. 

Good with children:  Tiny dogs do not always fare well with young/smaller children.  Respectful, calm children ages 10 and up, who clearly understand that he is not a toy will be a better fit for him.

Adoption donation:  $385 (which includes $85 for his neuter)

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Axel picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.

Please feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.
