Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Apollo is a very confident, intelligent and loving 6 year old male Rottweiler with a big block head that everyone seems to want in their rottie. He used to be a show dog that was also used for breeding. When the breeder was done with him, he took him to their vet and asked that the vet euthanize him! Apollo is a very healthy male and a true joy to be around. The thought of someone doing that to him is sad. His vet refused to kill him for no reason at all, and they contacted our rescue. Apollo was just neutered and he is up to date on his shots and microchipped. We cat tested him, and he did very well with the cat that we introduced him to. He does not have any issues or aggression towards the other dogs that he has met and lives with either. He loves his ball and walks around all day with a ball in his mouth. He is protective over his foster family already, and is the perfect example of what a rottweiler should look and act like.
Don't miss the video we have posted of Apollo. Just click on the pic of the tv set.
Again, stating his assessment yesterday ~ 100 lb pure bred German Rottie who was owner surrendered for euth as his stud services were no longer needed. He was relegated to the back yard most of his life when he wasnt being shown in competitions. However, he is potty trained.
Apollo had many onlookers while assessing him =) Perfect heel off leash, immediate sit, down, then he just loved all the attention so rolled over on his back and said "YES ~ rub my belly!" Apollo is tuned in, eager to please, watches handler carefully for commands, respectful of others and so needing a wonderful family to call his own.
Staff was elated as after brief interaction never having seen me Apollo offered a play bow and lean ins. He walked down 18 kennels, sniffed, tail wagging and OH YEAH swaggered into his kennel ♥
