My story

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

Meet Apollo! He is a 5-and-a-half-year-old Boxer mix who is looking for his forever home. This big boy is pretty quiet for the most part and just enjoys hanging out with you. He's well-mannered and laid back for the most part. Apollo is very affectionate towards people and is a super friendly dog. He's been keeping his kennel area pretty tidy, so we think he might be potty trained. He is manageable on a leash until he sees something of interest, like a squirrel, and then he is very strong. Apollo has a pretty high prey drive, so we don't know if he'd do the best with feline friends. The shelter we pulled Apollo from mentioned he was good with other dogs, but we have not had a chance to test him yet. This sweet boy deserves a loving home. Does he sound like a good match for you?

Additional adoption info

PUPPIES

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.

ADULTS

Adult dogs are dogs that are ages 1 – 6 years old. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $300.

Senior dogs are dogs that are 7 years old and up. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and if age allows spay/neutered.
