Apollo- 54226 - Black Mouth Cur Dog for Adoption in Columbia, Maryland

Meet Apollo (54226), a 6 year old neutered male black mouth cur mix! When Apollo first arrived at the shelter, he was very vocal, untrusting, and would use his mouth to tell us when he was uncomfortable. Since then, he's settled in well and has started to trust us more. He knows the commands "sit" and "paw". He doesn't love it when his mouth is handled and does not like to share this food. Because of this he cannot go to a home with children under 12. Apollo needs a home that can establish and maintain boundaries with him to set him up for success and help him have the best life possible.
