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

Names Apollo (like the rollercoaster) Rescued @ 3m old. Smart, loyal, & dopey dude. EASILY TRAINABLE!
Knows sit, lay, stay, shake, down, bed & spin. Crate trained. Crate, bed, harness, leash, toys, cone & muzzle included if desired. Flexible w feeding & bathroom schedules. No food aggression, no accidents during 14 hour shifts. Lived w cats he could be trusted home alone w post patient gradual introductions. Thrives in familiar environments! Socially driven. Former registered ESA (documented) Been a homebody against will thnx to me. Very energetic & laid back when he feels safe. Can be skiddish @ times w a big bark. Windows down car rides to chomp @ cars is his fav>> Needs stern redirection when overstimulated/in unfamiliar scenarios. Protective instincts. Needs work walking on the leash. 0 interest to escape yard w many opportunities. microchipped- full consistent vet hx w last scheduled vaxs missed. Takes benadryl PRN for seasonal skin allergies.
