About Apollo

Apollo struts in at around 60 lbs. and brings plenty of personality. He’s about 16 months old—a Rottweiler mix—and checks all the boxes for anyone who likes their dogs on the big-and-goofy side. The type to sprawl across your couch during a game, flop-eared and lively, Apollo does everything with his whole heart. He came in as a stray, so some of his history is a blank, but every sign points to him being friendly and playful, especially with other dogs. Apollo’s manners can get rowdy since he wasn’t given much structure early on, but it’s all energy and enthusiasm, never aggression. This is the kind of dog who’ll hand off his tennis ball to another pup through the fence just to keep the game going. Apollo is housetrained, neutered, and caught up on vaccines. He loves a game of fetch and needs space—a big, fenced yard is ideal—plus someone with a firm arm for walking him. A home without small kids is a must, but he comes alive in the company of another playful dog (his best buddy is a female hound mix). Imagine hiking trails or splashing streams—Apollo is up for any adventure. If you want a joyful, supersized companion ready for action, he’s waiting in Shippenville, PA. Your new best friend is just one click away.
