About Apollo

Meet Apollo, formerly known as Vooper, a spirited 17-month-old mixed-breed dog, featuring a lively blend of Dutch Shepherd and Australian Kelpie. He’s on the lookout for his forever home, bringing boundless energy and joy to whoever takes him in. Outdoor adventures are where Apollo truly shines—whether it's brisk walks, soccer matches, or tug-of-war, he thrives on play. The dog park is his happy place, where he can run free and make new friends. Apollo is fully house trained and is polite about asking to go out. He's confident around loud noises and has undergone discipline training, mastering commands like Sit, Stay, and Come here. While he’s well-behaved on walks and enjoys interaction with kids aged 10 and above, he can be a tad mouthy and might jump on furniture when excited—a bit more training will help with that. Though he has good social skills with other dogs, his experience with cats and very young children is limited, so caution is advised. If you're looking to welcome a playful companion into your life, come meet Apollo! He’s ready to find a loving family that will provide him the attention and outdoor fun he craves.
