Pit Bull Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dogs Available for Adoption in Volcano, Hawaii

Introducing Axle/"Aloka."

Axle is our Action 4 Animals "Aloka." He lead our Community Walk for Peace in solidarity with the Buddhist monks-and their cherished rescue dog, Aloka-who are walking across the states to share loving-kindness, compassion, and hope.

Axle is a gentle, calm soul with the sweetest heart. He's the definition of an obedient couch potato - happiest curled up beside his people, soaking up all the love and giving it right back.

While his favorite place is by your side, Axle also gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and kids of all ages. He truly is an easygoing, go-with-the-flow kind of boy who seems to fit in wherever he's welcomed.

He's smart, sweet, and incredibly affectionate - a quiet companion who rarely barks and would much rather snuggle than stir up trouble. If you're looking for a steady, loving best friend who will happily share your couch and your heart, Axle may be your perfect match.

History: Axle was found as a stray on Saddle Road. He came to us through our life-saving partnership with County of Hawaii Animal Control.

Axle is available to adopt through Action 4 Animals Hawaii. Click on the "Apply for Adoption" button. View all of our adoptable pups at https://www.action4animalshawaii.com/adopt-a-dog.
