My story

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

Look at this handsome hunk of love! This is Apollo. Apollo made this grand decision to explore the world and see if anything or anyone could welcome him into to their home as their own but the expedition was cut short and he was kindly escorted to the shelter on 9/22. Sadly, no one has come to reclaim this precious baby so Apollo is on a quick search for a home that will give him a nice, soft bed, toys, patience, treats and a lot of fun and games to play with you and the family. His breed is an active one so giving him activities to keep him stimulated and focused will keep him from wanting to explore the world all alone. But you have to be the one to help him with this. Can you be that person and keep him safe and sound so he doesn't return to the shelter? He is a golden boy who doesn't deserve to spend the rest of his life in a loud shelter. We know Apollo is hoping for that and we are too! He is a beautiful pure bred little boy who is super sweet and very quiet inside and out. Apollo is attentive and obedient inside and outside. Apollo is also well behaved. He has not made a sound in his kennel since his arrival. Apollo is also super smart as he knows basic commands such as sit when asked and he does it so nicely for treats! He may know more and would love for you to teach him! If you are looking for a companion for your pup, bring your pup and see if this baby is a match for your resident baby! Help this golden boy stay young by giving him the home he deserves!!

Apollo is current on vaccines, will be neutered upon his adoption. He is already microchipped. He is 8 years old and weighs 59lbs. He would love to keep you on your toes so come visit him and get to know him better. Apollo will also be tested for heart worms as well. He will be waiting for you in Run 854. Apollo's ID is 662121.

You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When inquiring about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER.
