My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Apollo's previous owner wrote the sweetest things about him, that we just had to share it. "My dog Apollo is incredibly sweet. He loves love! There are many special times where he looks into your eyes and you know he knows what you're going through. He loves to be sung to, especially before bedtime. He likes a mound of blankets and was accustomed to sleeping on an elevated cot dog bed. However, he'd be more than happy to join you in yours if allowed. He loves pets and back scratchies. His favorite naughty foods are pizza and pasta. He can't resist a good red sauce. Beware he will try to get between you and your can of V8 an absolute favorite of his."

Apollo weighs 96lbs (probably too much pizza and pasta!)
