Axel is an extraordinary Crisis Response Certified Canine and has visited countless hospitals, schools,
first responder and military organizations.

In the past two years, they have volunteered over 2,500 hours and interacted with over 50,000 people.

Axel was instrumental during the pandemic when he would sit with dying patients when their family members weren’t able to visit.

Axel would console nurses and doctors who’ve witnessed countless COVID-19 deaths to help process grief.

In addition, he accompanies his handler to conduct Critical Incident Stress Management sessions with Police, Fire, and EMS,

helping first responders process grief following a death, suicide, or traumatic event in the line of duty.

Axel was also deployed to the scene of the Surfside condo collapse in Florida as well as the shootings in Virginia and Uvalde, TX.
