My story

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

Meet Apollo, a senior canine with a heart full of love and a spirit that`s young at heart. This cuddly companion is the embodiment of friendliness, always ready to greet you with a wagging tail and a friendly nuzzle. Apollo`s house-trained manners and low-maintenance lifestyle make him an easy fit for any home environment. Despite his senior status, Apollo is full of life and love to give. His golden years are far from over, and he`s ready to spend them making you the happiest pet parent around. Apollo was surrendered with another dog, but he can be a bit reactive to other dogs. Therefore, he would need a slow introduction to any other pets in the household. He does have allergies and is prone to ear infections, but with regular care and attention, these can be managed. However, don`t let this deter you; Apollo`s love is worth it. Adopt Apollo and let his warmth and friendliness fill your home with joy.
