In the shelter’s words

Usually, adventures happen after dogs find their forever families but for Apollo his adventures started out early. He previously spent his days playing with neighborhood kids until he was picked up as a stray. After the pickup, he was able to ride along with the officer on a night shift. That is quite the adventure for Apollo and although he enjoyed the excitement, he is ready to settle down with his family. Apollo is a one-year-old Australian Kelpie mix, and he is a medium-size boy of 48 pounds. Apollo is a funny, happy boy with a huge smile to greet everyone. He is very dog friendly, and he certainly enjoys interactions with children, but he has not met a cat since coming into rescue so that remains an unknown at this time. He loves toys, especially outside. With his black coat, long legs and giant ears, he is hard to miss, and he has never met a stranger.Apollo is already leash trained and enjoys going on walks. He is a medium energy boy so he would fit in well with a moderately active family. He is learning his house training and crate training. This beautiful and resilient boy will be a great canine companion. He is confident in new situations and will be a delight to share daily life with. Apollo knows that he is headed for bigger and better things. Show Apollo with way home and apply for him today. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.
