My name is Apollo!

***Apollo needs a foster***
Apollo is a wonderful and loyal companion, with an incredible ability to bond deeply once he feels secure and trusts his person. Though he initially struggled with some dog reactivity, through patience and guidance, he overcame this challenge. He now prefers to focus on his human and is happiest when other dogs keep their distance.

Apollo is affectionate and loves belly rubs, rolling over to soak in all the attention. He's regal, a dignified dog who carries himself with a sense of maturity, likely shaped by the hardships he's faced in the past. Despite this, he's ready to be a full-time working companion, thriving on structure, stability, and clear boundaries.

His new home should provide him with safety and set rules, as Apollo responds well to leadership and consistency. While he’s not high-energy, he enjoys hikes and loves wearing his doggie backpack. He’s perfect for someone looking for a calm, reliable, and emotionally intuitive best friend.

Apollo would do best in a home where he can be the center of attention, as he’s a true “people dog.” He will absolutely thrive with someone who understands his need for structure and stability and will reward them with loyalty and love. His excellent genetics and demeanor suggest he could have come from working parents, which is reflected in his composure under pressure and his ability to adapt to different situations.

Apollo is truly a regal dog who has seen tough times but has emerged stronger and more mature, ready for a stable home where he can shine as the incredible companion he is.
