This big, happy goofball is about 10 months old (estimated birthday May 9, 2025) and currently around 74 lbs. He's a German Shepherd / Great Pyrenees mix.

Apollo is one of the sweetest and smartest young dogs you'll meet. He loves receiving hugs, soaking up all the pets, and hanging out with his people. Hes a huge fan of running around outside, chasing balls, being chased around, solving food puzzles, and chewing on sticks he finds in the yard. He also adores snow and is comfortable with regular grooming.

He knows commands like sit, down, wait, shake, and crate, and hes mat trained. Hes working on his leash walking after some cold-weather regression, and hes still improving on come. He can be high-energy and playful when its time to play, but in the best way. Hes crate trained and can stay in his crate for several hours when needed, though hed thrive in a home with a fenced backyard and someone who works from home or can give him plenty of exercise and attention.

On the health side, hes had some digestive issues early on, which may have been a reaction to NexGard Plus, but hes doing awesome now on Purina Sensitive Stomach food with added fiber and probiotics.

He does not do well with cats (he gets too excited and plays way too rough), so he needs a cat-free home. Apollo is a loving, happy boy who will do best with an active family ready for his size and energy.

His current family is absolutely devastated to be looking for a new home for him, but they want what's best for Apollo a family who will give him all the love, structure, exercise, and patience he deserves.

Medical & Spay/Neuter Information:
Most puppies travel with two rounds of vaccines, and sometimes three. Occasionally, we may not have had a puppy long enough for a second round.

Puppies under 6 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppys first birthday or by your veterinarian's recommendation, at the adopters expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppys appearance and, when known, the mothers appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.
