Story
Hi, my name is Apollo! I am a spicy little guy who can also be quite sweet once I get to know you. I came to BCHS in very bad condition due to extreme fur matting because of a lack of grooming, and one of my legs had to be removed because of the serious injury this caused me. I am getting around great now, and I feel awesome! I have been living with a foster family while undergoing my medical treatments, and I also have been learning to trust someone enough to let them groom me. I was adopted once after all my treatments were completed but I was not a good fit for the family as they had a very busy home with lots of visitors. This caused me stress and fear, and my behavior became difficult for them to manage. The family made the best choice for me by returning me to the shelter so that a home that would be a better fit for me could be found. *I am currently in a foster home! Please contact the shelter if you`d like to meet me* In my foster home, I have lived with cats, and I really like them! I also have been living with other dogs, and I simply adore them, but I can be a bit pushy with my attention, so they all may not appreciate me. I can be feisty sometimes, but I’m small, a little bit fragile, and tend to get underfoot especially when I get excited about something like mealtimes or my people coming home, and in my excitement, I circle your feet and tug at your pantleg or shoe. I can be unsure of new people at first, but once I get to know you, I love to snuggle with you on the couch and generally be with you wherever you are. My foster parents are working with me on my house training, but I will continue to need patience and help with this in my forever home. I have pee accidents but have never had a poop accident and wear belly bands to help with this in foster. My ideal home is adults only, and my owners should be experienced with small dogs who have fear-based behavior issues. My home should not be one where there are a lot of visitors, new people make me nervous, and I need space and time to get to make friends on my own terms. I have a history of not being good with children so there should be no children in the home and they should not be frequent visitors. I would do my best in a home with other dogs, they help me to relax and know that I am safe. I can be an acquired taste for some dogs though, so the existing dogs in the home should be gentle while also good at giving appropriate correction. Because of his hist
