Apollo Creed

My story

While he may not know how to box, this Apollo Creed is ready for his own comeback story! Apollo Creed is a 1-year-old labrador retriever mix with a handsome black and white coat, adorably mismatched eyes, and the happiest smile! At 67 lbs., he is considered a large pup (>60 lbs.).Apollo Creed was surrendered to our partner shelter in Texas because his owner was moving. He was on the urgent list (soon to be euthanized) before making his way to Dog Star. Now he is very ready to find a forever home and family to love! As a medium-energy pup, Apollo Creed would love to spend time with his family enjoying a variety of activities from hikes to couch cuddles. He gets along well with other dogs and with human kiddos too! We are not sure how he feels about cats. In short, he would make a great addition to any family!Apollo Creed is working hard on his house, crate, and leash training, which are all in progress. It is important to remember that accidents can happen while adjusting to a new home environment. Apollo Creed thrives on structure and routine, and setting up a consistent routine will help him adjust to his new home. He would love to join a family who will provide him with lots of love and patience during this transition!If you are ready to be part of the comeback story for this big, sweet boy, Apollo Creed cannot wait to meet you!* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.
