Meet Apollo! He’s a three-year-old male Labrador Retriever and Doberman mix, recently surrendered with his sister Lunna due to a change in their owner's living situation. While they don't need to be adopted together, they both are searching for their forever homes. Apollo embodies the title of "man's best friend." His affectionate and curious nature is sure to capture your heart. Always ready for adventure, Apollo enjoys everything from walks in the park to lively games of fetch (though he’s not too keen on returning the ball!). His loyalty shines through, and he's known for being a devoted companion who offers a warm presence. Previously, he served as an Emotional Support Animal, testament to his kind-hearted personality. He’s had some training and knows basic commands, making him eager to please and a joy to be around. Apollo has lived harmoniously with both dogs and cats, showcasing his friendly demeanor. While he hasn't been around children, his loveable personality leads us to believe he would enjoy their company. Just keep in mind Apollo is over 100 pounds and should be supervised around young kids to avoid any accidental knocks.
