My story

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

You may know Apollo as the greek god of the sun- so why don't you bring some sunshine home with you with this lover boy? Apollo is a big fluffy ball of love and fun! Apollo loves to be outside and play- it's getting him back inside that's the problem. He's a big boy, and doesn't always know how to play nice with other dogs and cats so he would need to be in a home where he is the only pet. He is loved by all of our staff and volunteers and won the shelter award for most squishable face! Take home this big bundle of fluff and sunshine today!
