Hey there, I'm Apollo and I must say, I'm quite the sweet boy! Although, I have to admit, I can get a bit jumpy at times. It's not because I'm scared, it's just because my eyesight isn't the greatest. So, when something pops up unexpectedly, I get startled and let out a little "whoa!" But don't worry, all I need is some happy talk to get me back on track. And let me tell you, once I hear a familiar, upbeat voice, my wiggles can't be contained!
I'm a big fan of hugs and love to give them to my friends. And here's a little secret, it doesn't take much to become my friend. Just a little bit of happy talk and we'll be best buds in no time! So get ready for some squishy Apollo hugs, because once you're in my inner circle, there's no turning back.
When I'm not giving out hugs, I love to lay in the grass with a good chewy. There's nothing better than feeling the soft blades of grass under my paws while I chomp away on a delicious treat. I also love to go for walks, especially when there are new smells to discover. You see, I have a great sniffer! I can pick up scents from miles away and it's always exciting to follow my nose and see where it leads me. Maybe it will lead me to you and I being best friends forever!

More about this shelter
The Animal Defense League was established in 1934 by a group of individuals, “for the prevention of cruelty to animals; to promote kind and humane treatment of animals; and to aid and assist the enforcement of laws enacted for the prevention of animal cruelty.”
In 1961, ADL moved to its present location in the easily accessible northeast part of San Antonio. Its campus encompasses more than 12 acres and includes a two-acre pet park. On the property is an Adoption Center with a small retail store, and a separate 5,000 square-foot Clinic which houses our veterinary hospital that provides onsite spay/neuter surgery, surgery for injured and ill animals, and ongoing medical care for all ADL resident animals.
