Hi there! I’m Apollo, a sweet, gentle, and mellow guy who is ready to find my forever home. I came to the shelter as a stray, so not much is known about my past, but what I can tell you is this: I’m a happy, easy-going boy who loves everyone I meet. Belly rubs? Yes, please! I can never get enough of them! I also adore being pet and cuddled—I’m basically the definition of a love bug.
I’m always happy to be part of the family’s daily routine, whether we’re chilling at home watching TV, taking a leisurely drive (I love car rides!), or going for a walk in the park. I`m happiest when I`m near my people!
While I’m definitely more of a chill pup, I’m also eager to learn new things. I already know how to sit and lay down, and I think puzzle toys are a lot of fun!
If you’re looking for an affectionate and calm companion to brighten your life, I might be the perfect match. I’d love to spend the holiday season with you, snuggling by the fire, watching some movies, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Is your home missing a sweet, loving dog like me? I’d love to meet you and see if we can start a new chapter together.
Interested in meeting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Monday: 12-4pm and Tuesday thru Sunday: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. *Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.*

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS), was founded in 1927 by a pioneering and compassionate socialite named Elsie Seeger Barton (1886-1983).
In 1902, at age 16, Miss Seeger was stricken with rheumatic fever and was confined to her bed. During that time, her constant companions were the family’s beloved pets. It was at that time that Ms. Seeger resolved to devote her life to the care and humane treatment of companion and service animals. When she became well, she established a refuge for abused and homeless animals on her family’s estate, known as “Thistle Top” on Milford Road in Pikesville, MD, overlooking Gwynn’s Falls Dam. In 1908 she married Bolling Walker Barton, Jr., President of Barton, Duet & Koch Paper Company.
