My story

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

My name is Apollo, and I`m two and a half years old. My favorite things are chewing on my toys and playing tug-of-war. I have a really strong chomp, so I need chew toys that won`t break into little pieces when I bite down on them! In the morning, I love to burrow underneath the covers and cuddle with you, and in the evening, when I don`t want to be going for a walk or playing with my toys, I`ll crawl up into your arms so you can hold me. I know I`m not a little guy, but I`m not too big to hold, right?

I`m very good at walks, but I need to be reminded sometimes not to pull on my leash. My foster parents say I`m really smart and that I`m really quick to learn new tricks, especially when food is involved. I know all kinds of tricks now, and I`m a very good listener. Sometimes I get a little too excited when I`m around other dogs, but I am muzzle trained.

I like to spend a little time outside every day in the summer so that I can get my daily zoomies out. When I`m inside, I like to look out the window so I can let my foster parents know who`s out there. Lastly, I have a really expressive face and I`m good at using it to communicate my needs, whether it`s dinner time, play time, or I need to go outside. I hope to meet you soon!

More about this shelter

For more than 50 years the Neenah Animal Shelter has been there for all kinds of animals in all conditions. When they have nowhere else to go, they can come to us, and we will help them find a new start in life--another chance to be loved.

In 1958 we opened our doors to take in the first of these heartwarming creatures. Since then thousands of animals--from street smart cats and white-faced retrievers to newborn kittens and bouncing pups--have come through our doors needing food, warmth, medicine and a forever home.

Please continue to support our shelter through adoptions and donations. With your help we can be there for the loving, trusting animals that depend on us for years to come.
