Story

Say hello to Apollo — professional treat enthusiast and part-time shy guy! Apollo is a 1-year-old Terrier mix who came to us as an owner surrender through no fault of his own. He’s currently accepting applications for a new best friend… preferably one who carries snacks. His previous owner told us Apollo is good with kids and other dogs, and he’s crate trained. He’s still working on housebreaking, but he’s only one — he’s got time to get his life together. Apollo can be a little shy when you first meet him. He likes to take a minute to check you out and make sure you’re trustworthy. Having a treat in your hand definitely helps your case. Once he starts feeling comfortable, you’ll see the sweet young guy hiding behind those shy first impressions. Apollo is ready to find a family willing to give him the patience, love, and guidance a young dog needs. If you don’t mind helping him finish his potty-training homework and you’re willing to pay the occasional cheese tax, Apollo just might be your guy. Apollo did great for his exam and weighed in at 46.2 lbs. he was given Bordetella, dewormed, microchipped, and tested heartworm negative. Apollo also came to us with a current 1-year rabies vaccine and parvo/lepto/distemper vaccines. Our adoption fee is $100, cash or local check only. Visiting Hours:Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–11:45 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. We are located at 5066 County Home Rd. Greenville OH. 45331. You can reach us at 937-547-1645.
