My story

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

Meet Apollo, a beautiful 53lb dog with a heart as big as his paws! This loyal, sweet boy is full of love and will stand by your side through thick and thin. Apollo enjoys cuddling up with his favorite humans and is always ready for a game of fetch! He’s a real gem when it comes to his bond with his family, and once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll have a devoted companion for life.

While Apollo may be a bit unsure of new people and unfamiliar places, he’s simply taking his time to warm up. He’s looking for a patient and understanding adopter who can help him build confidence and provide him with the exposure and training he needs to feel more comfortable in new situations. If you have a dog at home, we recommend a dog-to-dog introduction to ensure a good fit. With your love and guidance, Apollo will thrive, showing you just how affectionate, loyal, and fun he can be.

If you`re ready to gain a lifelong friend with a heart full of love, come meet Apollo today!

This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!

Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt
