About Apollo

Apollo and Phoenix are inseparable companions looking to complete your family. They arrived at the shelter due to their previous owner's allergies, and Apollo has shown himself to be a bit shy. With a gentle approach, he’ll appreciate the time to adjust and reveal his playful personality, especially his love for fetch. As this bonded pair, they need to be adopted together, and there's only one adoption fee for both. These pets are also eligible for an Adoption Audition, a five-day trial period where you can bring them home to see how they fit into your life. Interested? Visit our shelter during open hours to chat with our Customer Care staff. You can find them at our Michael R. Campus or Lorton Campus during designated hours. Every pet deserves the right home, and with a bit of patience, Apollo is ready to become part of yours. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
