A little about them

Apollo is a sweet, gentle 3-year-old Saint Bernard and Newfoundland mix weighing about 85 pounds. After being injured in a dog attack when he escaped an unsafe home, he is looking for a true forever home where he can be the only dog.

Apollo enjoys cuddling with his people, relaxing nearby, and exploring a yard. He walks well on leash, knows basic commands, and is curious, obedient, and eager to please. He may need time to adjust and reassurance during thunderstorms.

Ideal Home

Apollo needs to be the only dog in the home and would benefit from a physically fenced yard. He may dash toward cats to investigate, but listens when redirected. He is affectionate and wants to stay close to his people.

Ongoing Health

Apollo is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and heartworm negative. He previously sustained several puncture wounds in a dog attack.

Training & Support

Apollo walks well on leash and knows basic commands. Continued guidance with leash skills and basic commands will help him build confidence and bond with his humans.
