This big, happy goofball is just over a year old, weighing around 79 lbs. He's a German Shepherd / Great Pyrenees mix with an estimated birthday of May 9, 2025. Apollo is one of the sweetest and smartest young dogs you'll meet. He loves receiving hugs, soaking up all the pets, and hanging out with his people. He's a huge fan of running around outside, chasing balls, being chased around, solving food puzzles, and chewing on sticks he finds in the yard. He also adores snow and is comfortable with regular grooming. His current family is absolutely devastated to be looking for a new home for him, but they want what's best for Apollo—a family who will give him all the love, structure, exercise, and patience he deserves.
Ideal Home
Apollo would thrive in a home with a fenced backyard and someone who works from home or can give him plenty of exercise and attention. He needs a cat-free home as he gets too excited and plays too rough with them. He is best suited for an active family ready for his size and energy.
Ongoing Health
Apollo had some digestive issues early on, which may have been a reaction to NexGard Plus. He is now doing great on Purina Sensitive Stomach food with added fiber and probiotics.
Training & Support
Apollo knows commands like sit, down, wait, shake, and crate, and he is house-trained. He is working on his leash walking after some cold-weather regression and is still improving on "come." He can be high-energy and playful when it's time to play, but in the best way. He is crate-trained and can stay in his crate for several hours when needed.
