He\u2019s now 10 months old, and sadly, the poor lad is just not coping with urban life in Dublin. He becomes quite stressed on walks, and this can show as reactivity towards unfamiliar dogs and people he meets while out and about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">\u201cWhat this sensitive boy really needs is a peaceful rural life. Before we can begin the search for his forever home, we\u2019d love to take him into foster care so he can decompress for a couple of weeks. All of our wonderful foster families are currently full or unavailable, so we\u2019re now hoping a new fosterer might be able to help Axel during this important transition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">\u201cAxel has been living with a cat and is totally fine with him. He\u2019s also lived with another dog, whom he loves, and he could live with a calm dog in his foster home. However, as he can be reactive with dogs he doesn\u2019t know well, we\u2019d ideally love to find a foster home where he would be the only dog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">\u201cWe\u2019re looking for a kind-hearted, experienced person or couple with a large, secure garden in the countryside where Axel can let off some steam and decompress.
