Meet Axel, a handsome Estonian Hound cross with a survivor’s spirit and a shining personality you’ll never forget!
Axel is 3 years old, 48 cm at the withers, and weighs 16 kg. He was rescued by 100 Tails in the dead of winter, starving and barely alive — just skin stretched over bones. One dark night, terrified and desperate, Axel ran onto the road and was struck by two (!) cars before disappearing into the forest.
The rescue team searched for him through the night, certain he was gravely injured. When they finally found him, the outcome felt like a miracle: aside from several wounds on one leg that needed emergency stitches, Axel was completely unharmed. Somehow, this brave boy survived.
Sadly, his owners later surrendered him to us.
Today, Axel is healthy, affectionate, endlessly curious, and ready for a real home.
He absolutely loves people and gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and children. He’s gentle, social, and completely free of aggression. Axel is also house-trained, respectful indoors, and never destructive.
But there’s another side to this clever hound boy: his nose rules his brain.
Axel has strong hunting instincts and a legendary talent for escape artistry.
Because of this, Axel needs a responsible and active family that understands hounds and will keep him safely leashed outside secure areas. His recall still needs work - on the property, he comes racing back immediately, but outside it’s more like: “FREEEEEEEDOM!”
Axel would thrive with people who love long walks, hiking adventures, sniffing games, and giving smart dogs interesting things to do. He’s bright, funny, affectionate, and full of life.
Our boy is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.
After everything he survived, Axel deserves a family that will never give up on him again.
