Meet Apollo

Look at that sweet smile! Apollo was found living on the streets with another dog in Texas. They were best friends until they were found and brought into a shelter and his buddy got adopted. Apollo made his way to Colorado to find his forever home, and he is thriving here with his foster, and waiting for a family to call his own. The following bio is from Apollo's foster:
"Apollo has the sweetest heart, oh my goodness. He is one big goofball, and so full of lovies! He loves to play, nap, and cuddle. He is great with my dogs, they play very well together. Apollo is very smart and well mannered, I think he probably had a home before. Whoever takes this boy home is going to be very lucky."

Apollo is an American Bully/Lab mix, according to the Texas vets. However, breed is just a guess, and he likely has multiple breeds in him! Apollo is about 2 years old, and 60 lbs. He is not big, he is actually quite short and medium sized, but he is just a bit chubby!

With any rescue, moving from a shelter to a foster to an adoptive home can be very confusing. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dog's, the transition is far easier. A home with a very loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time would be perfect home for Apollo. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs is a gift to a dog that is undergoing a life change. Given the time and space, these dogs shine.

Farfel's Rescue has found over time (we've rescued more than 3,000 dogs over 15 years of rescue) that families that attend level 1 group training classes or address individual challenges at home with one of our approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers keep their dogs for life. Dogs that do not get proper training and socialization have a much higher risk of developing behavioral problems. There is a bonding that occurs through the training process that can't be duplicated. It also teaches behaviors that enable a dog to go out into the world with excellent manners that create a very respectful relationship between dogs and their humans. It is for all these reasons that Farfel's isn't willing to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to create this training relationship. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/ force-free trainers in your area.

Apollo is up to date on his vaccines and neutered!

Apollo is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving puppy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
