About Apollo JamesMeet & Greet
Apollo James
Dogs – Let's meet!
Cats – Yes, he's lived with one and passed his cat test!
Kids – Teens 14 and up
Apollo James is handsome enough to stop people mid-sentence. He knows it, too. This striking guy has weathered more than his share, and he landed with us at one of the lowest points of his life. He can't understand why his world changed, only that it did, and lately things have felt a little unpredictable. He's just hoping someone will show him it can be gentle again.
Apollo doesn't give his heart to just anyone. He's a slow-warmer. New people, unfamiliar rooms, the general commotion of a place he doesn't know yet, he'd rather size it all up from a comfortable distance, decide for himself that things are okay, and then walk over to you on his own four feet. His love is so worth waiting for. The Apollo his favorite humans know is a peanut-butter devotee who hoards stuffed toys and rides shotgun like he owns the truck.
His ideal setup is a calm, quiet home where the doorbell isn't going off every ten minutes, with a grown-up household (teens fourteen and up) who understand that the best bonds are built slowly. Someone who's shared their life with a dog before and knows that confidence is earned rather than rushed will be his match made in heaven. He's also wonderful with cats!
Apollo James has spent a long while wondering whether people stick around. Come be the one who does.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
