Apollo

My story

Apollo was the Greek god of love and Apollo the Texas rescue has plenty of love to share with the lucky folks who adopt this handsome boy. He is a 3-year-old mixed breed dog with a cream and brown coat and high spirits ready for whatever life has to offer him.Apollo has been enjoying life in his foster family, with plenty of canine companions. He is a big boy at 60 pounds and thrives on energetic play. He also knows how to be gentle with small dogs like the little chihuahua with whom he had previously been residing with. Apollo is full of fun and good cheer with children. It is not known if he has a comfort level with cats.Apollo is working leash walking and making strides. He has done well in his crate and will rest comfortably when crated. Since Apollo has plenty of energy and high spirits, a firm, consistent and positive approach to training will help Apollo master his manners. He has already mastered his house training. It is important to remember that rescue dogs will have accidents as they transition to a new home. If crate training is planned, Apollo deserves a crate in which he can stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably for a nap. Crates must be warm, welcoming places and never used for punishment. It is not always easy to make room for a large dog but if you have plenty of space in your heart and home, Apollo is ready to join you. Apollo is eager to make your acquaintance and become your faithful, loving forever friend.* Please keep in mind when considering adoption, dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust significantly better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Apollo is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
