Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET APOLLO!
Apollo is estimated to be approximately 8 years young. He is heartworm negative and current on vaccines. Following is Apollo's foster mom's write up on this sweet older gentleman:
COMPLETELY HOUSE TRAINED – HASN’T HAD ANY “ACCIDENTS”.
WILL GO TO DOOR IF HE NEEDS TO GO POTTY
CRATE TRAINED – JUST PUT IN A TREAT FIRST
VERY QUIET OVERNIGHT IN CRATE
CAN BE LEFT ALONE UN CRATED IN HOUSE
WALKS WELL ON LEASH
DOES NOT JUMP UP ON PEOPLE
NON-REACTIVE TO STRANGERS COMING TO HOUSE
NO RESOURCE GUARDING WITH TOYS, FOOD, OR TREATS
SWEET AND AFFECTIONATE – WILL LAY HIS HEAD ON YOUR LAP FOR ATTENTION AND NUDGE YOUR HAND
NOT SCARED OF THUNDERSTORMS OR VACUUM CLEANER
LOW KEY AND VERY CALM INSIDE. HE IS “RETIRED” AND LIKES TO NAP ON HIS ORTHOPEDIC DOG BED
NOT A FAN OF BEING OUTSIDE ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY TO POTTY
KNOWS THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS SO FAR: SIT, LEAVE IT, & WAIT. WE ARE WORKING ON OTHERS
WILL “SIT “&” WAIT” FOR FOOD
NON-REACTIVE TO OTHER DOGS SO FAR
NEVER BEEN AROUND CATS TO MY KNOWLEDGE
NO ISSUES PETTING HIM ANYWHERE ON BODY
DID WELL FOR HIS BATH & NAIL TRIM AT VET BUT DID NOT APPRECIATE THE FECAL EXAM
BARKS AT BIRDS BUT OTHERWISE DOESN’T BARK MUCH

Additional adoption info
The RHR adoption application is part of a multi-step process. Once we get your completed adoption application, the RHR Adoption Committee will contact your veterinarian and personal references. Meanwhile, a home visit with you and your family will be scheduled and completed before RHR can consider approval of the adoption application. Our goal is to have this process completed within 10 days. After that, a meet and greet between the dog, you, and your family must take place. The RHR Adoption Contract must be completed and approved. Payment of the adoption fee can be made via money order, cashier’s check, PayPal, Venmo, cash, or personal check, must be received by RHR before the adoption can be completed. Rottweiler Hearts Rescue reserves the right to deny any application for any reason.
