Apollo

Apollo is typically a happy-go-lucky lab mix who lights up for company and car rides. He once rode shotgun in a semi-truck, but now his owner’s overtime workdays leave Apollo mostly home alone and he’s giving his status the “thumbs down” on his Muzzlebook page.

He does best with a steady mix of care and activity. Ideally, Apollo would receive 4-5 outdoor breaks per day, neighborhood walks on a harness and some yard play. He is spring-loaded and a climber, so supervised outside time and a six-foot fence would check a couple more of his boxes.

Apollo has lived peacefully with a larger dog and two cats, but his behavior is still untested around small dogs. Older kids (10+) are a good match for his size and play. He free-roams rather than crating and uses prescribed medication during thunderstorms.

Since his shift to solitude, Apollo’s person has tried the right things—mid-shift potty breaks, a snug anxiety hoodie, belly bands and a comprehensive vet check. Apollo is physically healthy; he just needs more daily contact. So, it’s time to help him find that.

With more activities (cuddles, fetch, shredding stuffed toys and road trips), his emotional health is expected to improve by leaps and bounds. Approved applicants will have the option to foster him for a period of time, just to make sure he’s the right fit, but the fun all starts by completing our online adoption application.
