Apollo had a rough start when he first arrived at the shelter, making it clear he disliked the whole vaccination ordeal. It earned him a "rescue only" label, and things looked bleak for a while. Once taken in by a new crew, Apollo gradually let his guard down and started showing his affectionate side. He's now the doting 'uncle' to a bunch of playful puppies, letting them clamber over him as if he's known nurturing all his life. It takes Apollo a bit to trust new people. He may bark at first, more out of storytelling than aggression, but once you’re in his circle, his sweet and loyal nature shines through. He's searching for a home that gives him time to warm up and understands that earning trust can be a gradual process. When that trust is given, Apollo will give you his whole heart.
