My story

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

Apollo (A131535) is a 3-year-old AK Husky who weighed 58.7 pounds on intake!

12/03/24 This handsome boy is Apollo! Apollo is back at the shelter because he was having jealousy issues with the child in the home, which resulted in him chewing on that child’s items (clothing, sippy cup, etc.). He was said to do great with children but might do best in a home with older children. Apollo was said to be kennel trained, housebroken, and to ride well in a car. He also knows a few commands like sit and paw! However, his prior owner did state that he doesn’t always mind the best and we still encourage his next owner to bring him to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer. He still has no experience with cats, pocket pets, or livestock but was said to do well with other dogs. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions to set him up for success! Apollo does have some naughty habits like getting into the trash, chewing, and digging. He is looking for a home that can keep him both mentally and physically stimulated and out of trouble! If you are interested in meeting Apollo, please let us know!

06/16/23 Athena and Apollo were surrendered to the shelter together and are hoping to find their new perfect homes! We are not requiring that these two be adopted together but they do get along if you are looking for a pair! Both Apollo and Athena were said to be kennel trained and housebroken! Apollo was said to be kenneled when left alone whereas Athena could be left unsupervised in the home. These two were described as outgoing and friendly and sweet with everybody they meet including kiddos! They were also said to do well with other dogs but have no history with cats, pocket pets, or livestock. Please ensure you are doing slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new critters! Apollo was known to jump shorter fences so should always be supervised when outside. Both Apollo and Athena were said to know a few basic commands but would still benefit from attending a basic obedience class. If you are interested in meeting either of these pups please let us know!January 30, 2025, 9:21 pm
