My story

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

Meet Apollo!
Apollo is a stunning 3–5 year old male German Shepherd with a heart as big as his name suggests. He arrived at the shelter as a stray, and despite a rough past—someone had cruelly tied string around a growth on his back leg—he has remained nothing but sweet and trusting.



This happy boy has limited vision in one eye and, due to progressive retinal disease, will eventually lose his sight completely. But don’t let that discourage you—Apollo’s spirit is bright, and he navigates the world with confidence and a wagging tail.



Apollo is currently on a treatment regimen for a skin condition, and with time, patience, and love, his beautiful coat will grow back. He already shines from the inside out.



Apollo deserves a home where he can feel safe, cherished, and understood. Who can open their heart to this incredibly resilient boy and give him the loving forever home he deserves?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process begins with the adopter filling out our online adoption application. Vet references are checked first, as we have a stringent policy requiring all current and past pets to have proper vetting provided. After the vet reference is complete, personal references are contacted, and a home visit is scheduled with the adopter. Finally, the adopter is invited to meet all of the dogs that might be a fit for their home.

Fees range from $200 to $400.

Adoption application

All appointments are scheduled between the adopter and one of our adoption counselors, after the application process is completed.

More about this rescue

Canine Pet Rescue Corp (CPR)
is dedicated to reconditioning wayward dogs, inparticular German Shepherd Dogs, with the end goal of placing them in a stable environment, which harbors positive behaviors from the dog. Many times, a dog will remain in our program for months, until the right environment is found. CPR believes that quality over rides quantity. We advocate responsible pet ownership and believe that education is key to providing wayward canines a strong and successful life. We believe that canines can be therapists, teachers, motivators, and friends and the love of the DOG carries us to the goal of rescuing, rehabilitating, and training these misplaced canines. We are a small group, made up of various rescue individuals that assume the responsibility of caring for, providing medical care, rehabilitating, and training misplaced or owner surrendered canines. Many of the dogs within the organization have been mishandled or placed in the wrong environment and are in desperate need of mental stimulation, training, and a proper structure in their lives.
