Meet Apollo Breed: Husky / Kelpie Mix Sex: Male DOB: 10/2/2022 Weight: 46 Pounds Health: Neutered, vaccinated, and a cancer survivor Apollo is more than just a dog — he’s a true survivor with a heart full of love and resilience. After bravely going through 10 rounds of chemotherapy, Apollo has shown incredible strength and determination. Today, he’s a happy, loving boy who hasn’t let his past define him. Instead, he embraces life with joy, energy, and a deep desire to finally have a family of his own. Personality Apollo is friendly, affectionate, and full of life. He loves people and does wonderfully with kids, making him a great family companion. He also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and companionship. Apollo has a loving, loyal nature and thrives when he is around his humans. He’s the kind of dog who will happily join you on walks, adventures, or simply relax by your side at the end of the day. Breed Info Husky and Kelpie mixes are intelligent, active, and highly loyal dogs. Huskies are known for their friendly nature and love of companionship, while Kelpies bring focus, energy, and a strong desire to engage. This combination creates a dog who enjoys both physical activity and mental stimulation. With proper exercise and structure, dogs like Apollo become incredibly devoted companions who thrive when included in daily life. Owner Responsibilities Apollo will do best with an adopter who can provide regular exercise, engagement, and companionship. Daily walks, playtime, and mentally stimulating activities will help keep him balanced and happy. Continued positive reinforcement training will strengthen his bond with his adopter and give him structure. Given his medical history, ongoing attention to his health and routine vet care will be important. ⚠️ Things to Consider Before adopting Apollo, it’s important to consider your long-term stability and lifestyle. Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? If you move, will Apollo move with you? Do you have time each day for exercise, companionship, and engagement? Are you financially prepared for routine veterinary care and any future needs? Dogs like Apollo deserve a home that will stand by them for life. Vet Care Apollo has already shown incredible strength through his treatment, and continued veterinary care will be important to support his long-term health. Establishing care with your own veterinarian soon after adoption will help ensure he continues to thrive and receive proper monitoring. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Like most rescue dogs, Apollo will need time to adjust to his new home. The first 3 days he may feel unsure as he decompresses. The first 3 weeks he will begin learning your routine and feeling more secure. By 3 months, his confidence will grow and his loving personality will fully shine. Patience and consistency during this time will help him settle in successfully. Why Apollo? Apollo has already proven how strong and resilient he is. Now, he’s ready for the life he truly deserves — one filled with love, stability, and companionship. Dogs like Apollo don’t just love… they love deeply. The family who gives him a home will gain a loyal, grateful companion who will cherish every moment by their side.

Meet Apollo Breed: Husky / Kelpie Mix Sex: Male DOB: 10/2/2022 Weight: 46 Pounds Health: Neutered, vaccinated, and a cancer survivor Apollo is more than just a dog — he’s a true survivor with a heart full of love and resilience. After bravely going through 10 rounds of chemotherapy, Apollo has shown incredible strength and determination. Today, he’s a happy, loving boy who hasn’t let his past define him. Instead, he embraces life with joy, energy, and a deep desire to finally have a family of his own. Personality Apollo is friendly, affectionate, and full of life. He loves people and does wonderfully with kids, making him a great family companion. He also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and companionship. Apollo has a loving, loyal nature and thrives when he is around his humans. He’s the kind of dog who will happily join you on walks, adventures, or simply relax by your side at the end of the day. Breed Info Husky and Kelpie mixes are intelligent, active, and highly loyal dogs. Huskies are known for their friendly nature and love of companionship, while Kelpies bring focus, energy, and a strong desire to engage. This combination creates a dog who enjoys both physical activity and mental stimulation. With proper exercise and structure, dogs like Apollo become incredibly devoted companions who thrive when included in daily life. Owner Responsibilities Apollo will do best with an adopter who can provide regular exercise, engagement, and companionship. Daily walks, playtime, and mentally stimulating activities will help keep him balanced and happy. Continued positive reinforcement training will strengthen his bond with his adopter and give him structure. Given his medical history, ongoing attention to his health and routine vet care will be important. ⚠️ Things to Consider Before adopting Apollo, it’s important to consider your long-term stability and lifestyle. Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? If you move, will Apollo move with you? Do you have time each day for exercise, companionship, and engagement? Are you financially prepared for routine veterinary care and any future needs? Dogs like Apollo deserve a home that will stand by them for life. Vet Care Apollo has already shown incredible strength through his treatment, and continued veterinary care will be important to support his long-term health. Establishing care with your own veterinarian soon after adoption will help ensure he continues to thrive and receive proper monitoring. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Like most rescue dogs, Apollo will need time to adjust to his new home. The first 3 days he may feel unsure as he decompresses. The first 3 weeks he will begin learning your routine and feeling more secure. By 3 months, his confidence will grow and his loving personality will fully shine. Patience and consistency during this time will help him settle in successfully. Why Apollo? Apollo has already proven how strong and resilient he is. Now, he’s ready for the life he truly deserves — one filled with love, stability, and companionship. Dogs like Apollo don’t just love… they love deeply. The family who gives him a home will gain a loyal, grateful companion who will cherish every moment by their side.
