About Apollo

Apollo is a spry senior who spent eight years in his former home. This big sweetheart is a true couch potato, always wanting to be by your side. Recently, during a two-week shelter vacation, his foster shared that Apollo is a friendly, loving dog who enjoys walks and treats. While he’s not much into toys, he loves to run outside now and then, proving he still has youthful energy. He is both crate and house trained, using a doggy door with ease. Apollo tends to be calm when left alone, patiently waiting for his person to return. Initially shy around newcomers, he opens up quickly once he feels comfortable. This sweet dog knows basic commands like sit and enjoys being petted gently. At the shelter, he’s a volunteer favorite, warming hearts with his affectionate nature. Apollo enjoys socializing and plays well with other dogs, so meeting any resident pups is a must before heading home. Don’t miss the chance to meet this joyful companion!
