About Apollo

DOB: 11/17/2019 Approximate Weight: 50 lbs Meet Apollo: Goofy, Lovebug, Easygoing! Energy Level: Apollo is a playful, energetic boy with a personality that'll make you smile...And who couldn't use more smiles in their life, right? :) Social Boy: Apollo is wonderful with other dogs, cats, and kids! Flexible Living: He is happy as your only pet or with furry siblings. Crate King: He is incredibly comfortable and "super chill" in his crate. Quiet And Calm: A silent superstar who remains peaceful even around noisy dogs. Leash Learner: Pulls a bit on walks, but Apollo is a smart cookie and eager to learn better leash manners. Ideal Home: Apollo's ideal home has a loving family who will stick by him forever. Health Note and Diet: Lyme and ehrlichia positive easily treated with doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic typically given for 28 days). A dog may continue to test positive even following treatment. The adopter is responsible for treatment including cost. It's always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life to keep them feeling their best! Apollo is a true lovebug who is ready to bring endless smiles and cuddles into your life! Adopted as a puppy back in 2020, his family moved and left him behind. This resilient boy is looking for a devoted forever family ready to match his loyalty and share in his boundless affection!
