About Apricot

Meet Apricot!

Apricot is a 5-year-old pup full of character and charm! This fun-loving dog is always ready for a good time, but he also knows the importance of rest and relaxation. He’s looking for a semi-active home where he can enjoy playtime and adventure while still getting his well-deserved decompression time. With a well-rounded demeanor, Apricot fits into just about any lifestyle! He’s dog-friendly, people-friendly, and always up for making new friends. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely walk, or just hanging out with his favorite people, this boy is ready to bring joy to his forever home. Apricot can’t wait to play with you!

Ideal Home

Apricot would thrive in a semi-active home where he can enjoy playtime and adventure, as well as get his downtime. He is dog-friendly and people-friendly.

Ongoing Health

All vetting, including DAPP, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, FVCRP vaccine, spay/neuter, flea prevention, heartworm testing and prevention, and micro-chipping, is covered.

Training & Support

Our team works with all our animals to prepare them for adoption, providing behavior and medical care, socialization through playgroups, and one-on-one bonding. We focus on leash training and basic commands. We are looking for adopters who understand that rescue animals may require continued training efforts and patience as they become the best companions they can be.
