This beautiful, sweet, and gentle boy has been in his foster home for several weeks now and has made so much progress! His foster family has learned so much about him. Apollo is a quiet, for a Pyr, gentle soul. He definitely prefers women; his foster mom is his favorite and who he is the most comfortable around. Other family members are okay, but she is the one who gets the snuggles and loves! Apollo lives next door to several neighbor dogs. It has taken him a while to get used to them barking at him, and some he is still afraid of. So this sweet guy needs to be in a home where even the neighbor dogs are friendly towards him. He is totally house-trained, has been from the moment he got to his foster! He is also a dream on a leash! Apollo is respectful around kiddos, but they are a bit overwhelming for him. So a home with older kiddos or none would be preferred. He also really might enjoy a nice, calm, confident female doggo to play with. He's had a couple of playdates, and he's really come out of his shell! Apollo needs a patient forever home where he can continue to progress at his own pace, with a family who understands dogs from hoarding situations can take time.
Ideal Home
Apollo would do best in a home with older children or no children. He would also appreciate a home where neighbor dogs are friendly, as he can be fearful of barking dogs. He may also enjoy the company of a calm, confident female dog.
