About Apollo

Meet Apollo, your future nap buddy and fetch partner. If you sit down, there’s a good chance I’ll claim your lap as my new pillow. I love snuggling while napping, unlike my sister who enjoys her space; I'm all about closeness. When I’m awake, my curiosity shines through, though I can be a little timid at times. Belly scratches and a game of fetch are the quickest ways to win my heart. I've been learning a lot in my foster home. I get along well with my foster brother, although sometimes I need a reminder not to hog the toys. I’m also intrigued by the house cat, but after a proper warning, I’ve learned to give him his space. I ride well in the car, and I'm working on my leash manners. I might not be the quickest walker since I get distracted by all the interesting smells, but I'm smart and catch on quickly. I have big paws to grow into and even bigger loyalty to offer. Apollo is fully vetted and ready for a loving home. If you're interested in meeting this playful pup, let’s get started with the application process!
