Shelter Staff made the following comments about this animal:
Apollo, god of light and sun, has blessed his prescence in our shelter by reincarnating into our furry fellow. Here in small town Santa Fe, our sweet apollo is mainly known for his goofball energy! This handsome fellow is a celebrity here at the shelter and in the lovely words of our Volunteer Coordinator he is "the best fetcher in the building". At only five years-old, Apollo is the perfect age for a dog––he’s outgrown that pesky teenage phase but still has plenty of energy to walk, hike, or play with his favorite people: and boy, does Apollo LOVE people! Apollo is not only known for his handsome looks but is one of our top smart dogs here at the shelter. Our volunteers have found him to be trainable and eager to please––although he’s crazy about his toys, he’s learned to “leave it” if you ask him to sit, and on a recent outing showed off his “down” and “shake” skills too. What’s really impressive is that Apollo is happy to perform these tricks for strangers, a testament to his sweet and trusting personality. Apollo is also an expert in Nose Work, an enrichment activity that allows dogs to de-stress, builds their confidence, and fosters a bond between dog and handler. Some of Apollo's favorite toys include Kong. While Apollo has lived with another dog, he would probably prefer to be the only pet (though older kids would be just great!) His former owners report that Apollo is crate-trained, making him an all-around perfect dog for adopters who work outside the home. If you need some sunshine in your life and want the cutest smartest dog please do come and meet this king!

Apollo’s adoption fee is waived!!! He is Neutered, Microchipped and has age appropriate vaccinations. A licensing fee may apply.
