About Apple

Apple is a charming five-month-old puppy looking for a patient and loving home. This playful fellow is full of energy and excitement, eager to engage in outdoor activities and learn how to walk on a leash. With his adorable, kiss-loving nature, he's truly an ultimate love bug who enjoys cuddling between play sessions. Having previously lived with other dogs, Apple thrives in their company and would love a canine friend in his new home. He’s a bit shy and undersocialized, which means walks and new environments can be overwhelming for him at first. His new adopter will need to offer guidance, patience, and plenty of treats to help him build confidence. While he is expected to grow into a large dog, with understanding and support, he can become a wonderful companion. Ready to meet Apple?
