Apollo

March 12, 2020 – Apollo, the dog that never quits smiling, is finally at home in Orlando. Apollo was tied to a tree for years before coming to AGB and he was so happy and grateful to be rescued that his other conditions – heart worms and a bum hip – didn’t seem to faze his attitude. AGB treated the heart worms and operated on his hip, which entailed 6 weeks of intensive therapy to get the leg back to full weight again. We are deeply grateful to his foster mom for exercising him up to six times a day, taking him to water therapy, and giving him lots of love while helping him to become a whole dog again. Because of her, Apollo is now able to enjoy his new home with parents who will help him with rehab, including a swimming pool for swim therapy. New parents have this to say: “He REALLY likes being THE DOG in the family. We love him to pieces.” AGB loves you too, Apollo, and keep those smiles warming everyone’s heart.

They’ve given me a name worthy of a Greek god but truthfully, I’m just doggone cute! Hello, I’m Apollo and I’m 7 years old; a cream colored smiling boy that is so happy to be out of the shelter and rescued. I hear I’m going to get a new home with a new family. That sounds just perfect and I can’t wait. In my past life, I was neglected and I was left tied to a tree before I got taken to a shelter. I want to forget about how sad that made me. I’m 53 pounds and I’ve been cured of heart worms. I look younger than my years and I’ve got very cute polka dots on my ears. I’m neutered, vaccinated and, best of all, house trained. I ride well in the car and I get along great with my foster dog friends. I am very sweet and I’m always grinning. And I could stand to be treated like a Greek god for the rest of my life.
