Apollo's Story

Hi, I'm Apollo! My fosters always say I'm a cheerful, well-balanced puppy. I already know my manners and will politely let you know when it's time for a potty break. I have wonderful house manners and never chew or bite anything I shouldn't. My days are filled with fun, playing with the resident dogs and the baby. I love making friends with both dogs and people. I would be thrilled to have a furry sibling, but if not, I'm just as happy to be your loyal shadow around the house. I'm crate-trained and sleep soundly through the night.<br/><br/>I can't wait to learn new tricks, and my foster says I'm a quick and clever pup. I even figured out how to sit and wait patiently for my food just by watching the other dogs. I also love squeaky and crinkly toys, and at times, the ones with some give but firm enough to ease my teething mouth. I've taken a few baths too, without any fuss.<br/><br/>Overall, I will be an excellent addition to a family ready to help me grow and train me. In return, I'll be a playful, fun companion who will return your love in oodles.<br/><br/> P.S. After an overnight stay in his first foster home between leaving the shelter and a Pilots and Paws flight, Apollo is living with two resident dogs and a one-year-old baby in his current foster home. Apollo has recovered from the upper respiratory infection he developed during his stay at the shelter and is thriving after his week-long course of antibiotics. <br/><br/>We are overjoyed to support Apollo and his littermate, Chloe, as they embark on their journey from shelter life to the loving, forever family they deserve. They were picked up by animal control from the streets and not claimed at the shelter. <br/><br/>Help us share Apollo's story so he can soon find a forever home that will fall in love with his floppy ears and the irresistible charm of his puppy days.<br/><br/>Have you checked out our YouTube channel? We would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing, liking, and commenting on the videos we share of our adoptable shepherds in action. You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and our newest Threads account, where we post plenty of news and updates about our shepherds.<br/><br/>As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always in need of fosters.

ShepHeroes's Adoption Policy
Our dogs are available to meet approved adopters through appointments and at various posted events throughout Northern California. Since each GSD we rescue has been let down by their previous caregivers, we are committed to ensuring that their second chance is a forever one. Our adoption application allows us to find the best possible match for them and for you. The decision to adopt a pet is an important one that we take seriously. Please take the time to read the questions and carefully complete the application. Please include full explanations with as much information as possible - this will help us with the review of your application If renting, your landlord's consent is required to proceed with your application. Our landlord permission form is embedded in the application and is required before your application can be processed. We primarily assist at-risk dogs and serve adopters in Northern California. We are currently focused in the following counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Marin, Monterey, Napa, Placer, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo, and on a limited basis the Ft. Bragg area of Mendocino County and Lake Tahoe region of Washoe County, NV. Our area of coverage shifts based on volunteer resources. As an all-volunteer rescue, we may not respond as quickly as we would like. We appreciate your patience while we work through the adoption process. Our goal is to respond to you within a week of your application. 1. Submit Application We seek adopters with previous GSD or large breed experience for the best fit and prefer to adopt within our local geographic region. 2. Interview After submission, you'll receive an email indicating the status of your application and information on assignment to an adoption counselor (AC). 3. Home Check After your interview, your AC will arrange for your home visit (HV). All household members & resident dogs should attend that meeting. 4. Meet the Pet After your HV and once approved, you'll be able to meet potential matches. All household members & resident dogs should attend the meetings. 5. Sign Adoption Contract Once you've found your perfect match, you review and sign the adoption contract. 6. Pay Fee Our adoption fees are $500 for dogs under 12 months, $400 for dogs 1-6 y/o, and $200 for dogs 7 y/o and older. 7. Take the Pet Home Once you've signed all the paperwork, you can take your new pup home!
