My name is Apollo!

Apollo, the Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise mix, is the big-hearted (and big-pawed) leader of his little pack! This sweetheart is always the first to greet you, trotting up with a wagging tail and a playful glint in his eye. Whether he's rallying his brothers for a round of fun or cozying up for a snooze, Apollo knows how to balance playtime with cuddle time perfectly.

Apollo has a knack for picking the perfect napping spot-anywhere and anytime will do! He's a quick learner with a little help in the potty department; when it comes to #1, he might need a reminder to aim for the great outdoors (or the fresh puppy pad). Great with kids, other dogs, and a star passenger in the car, Apollo is ready to bring his mix of charm, cheer, and cuddles to his forever family.


* Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results. We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on. Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
