Apollo Mixed Breed Fredericksburg, VA

DOB: 11/16/2019
Approximate Weight: 50lbs

Meet Apollo, an amazing dog looking for his forever home. Here's why he's the best:

- Loyal and loving: Originally adopted as a puppy in 2020, returned due to owner's move - now looking for his true forever home!
- Quiet companion: Despite barking at the center, he's been completely silent at home - even when other dogs bark.
- Dog-friendly: Gets along with other dogs but would also be happy as the only pup.
- Lived with cats & kids: Experienced with family life and various animals.
- Energetic goofball: Playful, fun-loving, and full of personality.
- Crate trained: Comfortable and well-behaved in a crate.
- Strong but learning: Needs leash training as he pulls hard on walks.
- Lyme and ehrlichia positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this disease, a dog may always test positive even if treated. The adopter is responsible for treatment, including cost. Its always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.

If you're ready for a fun, loving, and loyal companion, Apollo is waiting for you!
