Two affectionate German Shepherd mix puppies found wandering in a San Antonio neighborhood are now hoping to be adopted into a loving forever home.<\/p>\n
SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Our “Forgotten Friends” series showcases a dog or cat each week that has spent a lengthy time at an area shelter, just waiting for someone to notice them and bring them home to love.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes, second chances show up right on your doorstep.<\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly what happened when two playful German Shepherd mix puppies, now named Axl and Slash, came running up to a San Antonio home late one night as their finder was unlocking the front door after work. Unsure where they came from, but knowing they needed help, the family decided to foster the pups while searching for their forever homes.<\/p>\n At just seven months old, Axl and Slash are already stealing hearts. The bonded pair gets along well with other dogs and has done great with the family\u2019s older German Shepherds. They\u2019re full of energy and would thrive in an active home ready to keep up with puppy zoomies, playtime, and lots of love.<\/p>\n While the two look alike, their personalities couldn\u2019t be more different. Axl is the quiet cuddler… affectionate, gentle, and always ready for kisses and pets. His foster family says they\u2019ve never even heard him bark. Slash, on the other hand, has plenty to say. He\u2019s vocal, expressive, and not shy about letting you know when he disagrees, though cuddles are reserved strictly on his terms.<\/p>\n Both dogs are crate-trained and potty-trained, responding quickly to routines and cues like \u201cpotty\u201d and \u201cget in your house.\u201d They love treats, enjoy being petted, and have no known medical issues. They are current on their rabies vaccinations but are not yet neutered.<\/p>\n The family searched for an owner, posting ads and checking for leads, but now believes the dogs were abandoned in the neighborhood. With shelters at capacity, they\u2019ve continued fostering the pups in hopes the right family will come along.<\/p>\n There is no adoption fee. The goal, they say, is simple… to make sure Axl and Slash land in a safe, loving home.<\/p>\n
