Meet Apollo!

Apollo is a 3 year old German Shepherd male. Apollo currently weighs 63 pounds and is fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and ready to find a family to call his own!

Apollo was found as a stray right after Hurricane Beryl came through Houston. He wandered into a good Samaritan's yard and they reached out to us and asked for help.

Apollo is dog friendly and currently lives with other dogs. We would describe him as having a medium - low energy level. He's not really much for playing with other dogs, but he's great about coexisting. He gets excited when he sees other dogs on leash, but he just wants to meet them and say hi.

Apollo has never met cats before, so we're unsure how he would react. We would be happy to cat test him for any serious potential adopters with cats.

Apollo is very kid friendly! When he was initially found it was by a 17 year old girl who just adored him. In his foster home now he lives with a 2 year old child, but he's also interacted with children ages 7 and 12 years. He LOVES playing with the kids and they will run around together in the backyard. He sometimes has to be reminded to settle because he's a big boy and gets excited during play, but he's great with all ages of children.

Apollo gets very excited to go for walks and will pull initially. He does settle down once the walk gets going and will walk calmly next to you.

Apollo is fully potty trained and only does his business outside. Apollo sleeps in the bed with his foster parents all through the night without making a peep. Apollo is crate trained and does well in the crate. He'll happily go in with a treat and lays down to rest. He's also great if left out to free roam! He will hop up on the couch and relax while you're away.

Here's a small blurb about Apollo from his foster mom:

The best way to describe Apollo is ‘easy to love’. He is really such a sweetheart and all around is just eager to please! He’s very loyal and just wants to be by your side. He loves to go for a walk, let the baby chase him around or simply sit outside and watch the sun go down. We are so lucky and grateful to have experienced a love so pure that Apollo has to offer! Apollo is such a loving boy. Within just a few minutes of arriving at my house, he was cuddled up with me on the couch. He's protective on walks and will bark if anyone is walking towards you, but he's great about meeting people when they come over to the house though! He will come right up to you and greet you with tail wags and ask for belly rubs! He has a moderate to low energy level and he's pretty adaptable to whatever environment he's in! He would be great with another dog or without. He's always up for a walk, but will also happily relax around the house with you too! He gets the occasional zoomies in the evening with the kids, but for the most part he spends his time lounging around. When he gets excited, he spins around in circles chasing his tail, but can easily be redirected. Apollo would love a family that is okay with him sleeping in bed with them at night or allowing him up on the couch for cuddles. He really enjoys the company of his humans. Apollo is a very smart boy and just all around joy to have!
