Apollo
This 3-year-old gentleman has learned the hard way that forever isn't always truly forever, but he refuses to give up hope!
We thought we had found Apollo's forever home but his recent family neglected to secure the doors to their home and Apollo wound up on the front lawn. At the same time, their neighbor's 5 large dogs were off-leash in their front yard. Apollo was attacked and wound up with several puncture wounds. We are so thankful he did not lose his life, but this was clearly NOT a safe home for our boy! And so this sweet boy is now in need of a true forever home where he can be someone's one and only dog.
Apollo is one of the sweetest dogs we have had in our care. He is super chill and just wants to hang out with his humans and cuddle. He enjoys spending time in the yard and we are seeking a home for him with a physically fenced yard so he can sniff in all the good scents to his heart's content. Apollo walks well on the leash and knows his basic commands. He is not a fan of thunder, but then again, most dogs (and humans) are not.
Apollo is in a wonderful foster home in AL and his foster mom shares such lovely details about this handsome honey-boy. "Apollo has been great for us. He's a big sweet baby who just needs some love and understanding. Apollo is very curious and may curiously dash at the cats to get a sniff, but he listens when you tell him to stop; he's very obedient!"
"You can tell he just wants to be good and do right. He wants to be right where you are at all times. He's definitely not a fan of thunder though, so if its raining or thundering he wants to be held and he may not even eat til the weather passes. But he does eat very well once hes comfortable and feels safe. I think he just takes time to adjust. Overall, he is a gentle giant and would make someone a great companion!"
Now doesn't that make you want to adopt Apollo!?! We bet if you watch Apollo's video you will fall in love!
Apollo is believed to be a St. Bernard mix, maybe with some Newfie, and he weighs about 85 lbs. Whatever breeds he may be, he is GORGEOUS with his beautiful black coat and white blaze on his chest! His paws even have some white spots on them as though Apollo stepped in some paint! Just look at how handsome Apollo is with his red bandana. He is one of the COOLEST dogs ever!
Apollo is a young dog who will benefit from continued guidance in his leash skills and basic commands, to help him bond with his humans and feel more confident, especially after his sad past experience. He didn't do anything wrong but he lost his home, and he deserves to feel loved and become his best handsome, sweet self.
Apollo is up-to-date on vaccinations, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR please contact Cheryl to be considered for Apollo. If you are not yet approved, please visit our website to fill out an application! He will be ready to come north in mid-June to be directly adopted.
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to take on whatever comes with the dog. It is up to YOU to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue.
