About Apollo

Apollo is a sweet boy who adores his people and has a playful spirit, especially when it comes to fetch. He enjoys homemade chicken treats and, while he is mostly crate and potty trained, establishing consistent routines and positive reinforcement would help him thrive. Having previously lived with a cat, he is accustomed to feline company. However, Apollo shows some fear around larger dogs, so a home without them would be ideal. It's important to work with a positive reinforcement trainer to help him gain confidence as he grows. He has not lived with children and tends to be apprehensive around men, making slow introductions essential. Patience is key as he adjusts to his new environment. Ready to fall in love?
