Apollo - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Apollo and his sister were part of an unwanted litter of puppies born in a rural town in south Texas. They were dumped and left to fend for themselves. Someone in the community saw them, and asked us for help. A foster agreed to bring them into her home to save their lives. Apollo has grown up in a loving environment, and he is a very loving boy. He has completed his veterinary care, so he is ready to find his forever home!

Apollo is a very social boy, and he loves everyone. He does great with other dogs of any age and size. He loves kids and has been with children as young as 7. He is also cat friendly. He is house trained and loves to go for walks.

Apollo is 3 and 1/2 months old and weighs 25 pounds. We think he is a Cattle Dog and Staffordshire Terrier mix. He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies, DHPP and Bordetella. He is also microchipped, heartworm negative and is current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Apollo can arrive in Brattleboro, Vermont on 7/18. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out the application found here: https://throwadogabone.org/adopt.
