My story

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

Apollo 's Story

🐾 Meet Apollo 🐾

Apollo is a 1-year-old male Lab mix weighing 38 lbs and full of happiness and love. He was surrendered simply for having accidents in his crate — something that often happens with young dogs who lack training and structure, not because they’re “bad dogs.”

✨ Apollo’s highlights:
• ✅ Tested excellent with other dogs
• ✅ Fine with cats
• ✅ We believe he would do well with kids
• 💕 Extremely happy, affectionate, and people-loving
• 🐕 Young and eager to learn

Apollo hasn’t had much training yet, so he’ll need some basic structure and consistency. He does need leash work, as he can jump while walking — but this is very fixable with simple leash training and time.

With patience, routine, and love, Apollo has all the potential to become a wonderful, obedient companion. He truly just wants attention, affection, and someone to guide him.

If you’re looking for a joyful dog ready to grow with you, Apollo might be your perfect match ❤️🐶
