My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Foster/Foster to Adopt/Adopt
Adoption fee is sponsored.

A is for Agile
A is for Athletic
A is for Affectionate
A is for Apollo!!!!

Apollo was rescued from Central Valley with his two sisters. His sisters found homes but Apollo is still looking for his match.
Apollo is smart, loyal and protective. He loves to patrol his home and yard against any squirrely intruders. He loves walks and is pretty good on leash. He is also good off leash and has decent recall. He wears an e collar off leash. He is fostered with many other dogs but he does have a dominant side. He does better with dominant female dogs he cant push around. Apollo is very strong and needs a firm handler. He is a little rough around the edges but has a ton of potential. Adoption fee sponsored. Application and home check required. Shep experience strongly preferred.

More about this rescue

Ozzies Pound Puppies is an all breed dog rescue based in Concord, CA. Our volunteers are committed to rescuing unwanted and abandoned dogs from the public and from shelters. Ozzies is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives no government funds. You can help make a difference for a shelter dog by fostering, adopting, volunteering or donating.

WHAT WE DO
Every day, hundreds of dogs are euthanized in shelters across the nation. City and county shelters are overrun with stray and surrendered dogs and have run out of space, this is why they have to euthanize dogs. Dogs are only given a short time to be adopted and then they get put down. Our Rescue will take in dogs that have run out of time at the shelter and find homes for them, thus freeing up shelter space and finding adoptable dogs a new family.
