Meet Apollo! Your Golden Ticket to Adventure 🐾 Name: Apollo Age: 2 Years Breed: Golden Retriever Weight: 77 lbs. Health: Neutered & healthy! ________________________________________ The Golden Standard of Sweetness Apollo is a stunning, 77-pound heart-stealer with a personality that matches his golden good looks. He is a social butterfly who loves everyone he meets -- human strangers and other dogs alike. Apollo is "super smart" and already knows how to Sit and Shake, showing just how much he wants to please his people. ***Bonded & Ready to Belong He is a very sweet boy who knows how to make a connection fast; he bonded with his foster within just two days! Not much fazes this big guy -- he's confident, steady, and ready to be a loyal sidekick to an active family. ***A Diamond in the "Ruff" (Training in Progress) Apollo is a young, energetic boy who is still learning his manners. He's a bit "rough around the edges" and is looking for a family dedicated to consistent training. His new home will need to help him with: * Walking Etiquette: He's strong and can be a puller, so he'll need someone to guide him on how to walk politely on a leash. * Table Manners: Apollo thinks your countertops are a buffet! He'll need a "counter-surfing" management plan to keep his paws on the floor. * Greeting Guests: He gets so excited to see friends that he likes to jump up for a "hello." He's working on keeping four paws on the ground when he's happy. ***The Perfect Match Apollo's ideal home is an active family that will take him on daily walks and provide the mental stimulation that a smart dog like him needs. If you have the time for a bit of training, he will reward you with a lifetime of "shakes" and unconditional Golden love.AARF Houston transports to approved adopters outside of Texas.
