About Apollo

Apollo, named after the Roman god of the sun and art, is on a journey to embrace his namesake. He came to us through Animal Rescue Corps during Operation Broken Ties, where he was saved alongside 50 other dogs from a struggling shelter. At first, Apollo may seem a bit aloof, but a gentle call of "good boy" and some affectionate pets will quickly bring out his charming side; his wagging tail says it all. At 10 years and 3 months old, Apollo is looking for a fresh start. He’s ready to shine with the right family, though not suited for homes with children. He does well with cats, making him a great addition for a quieter, adult-only household. This senior dog is altered and up to date on vaccinations, patiently waiting for his forever home in Woodstock, IL. Could you be the one to give Apollo the new chapter he deserves?
