Meet Apollo! He's a sweet, gentle boy who may be shy at first, but once he trusts you, he's an absolute cuddle bug. This handsome pup takes time to warm up to new people and situations, but his loving personality shines through when he feels safe. One of his favorite ways to show affection is by gently booping your nose with his own, and when he's especially excited, he'll break into adorable vertical bunny hops. Apollo has an average energy level and enjoys relaxing with a good chew bone. He's housebroken, rides well in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and has made tremendous progress with crate training. Being in the crate isn't a problem for him – he was simply nervous about going in at first. With patience and encouragement, he's now only slightly reluctant and continues to improve.
Ideal Home
Apollo is a sensitive boy who is naturally timid and cautious. Most new things can be scary until he learns they're safe, but he has never shown aggression. Even when frightened or feeling cornered, he responds by rolling over and showing his belly rather than acting defensively. He will need a family that understands fearful dogs and is willing to let him build confidence at his own pace. Because of his timid nature, Apollo can be especially sensitive to sudden movements, particularly from men. He will do best in a calm, patient home where his family is committed to earning his trust and helping him continue building confidence.
Ongoing Health
Apollo is currently in good health with no known ongoing health conditions.
Training & Support
