He knows 'sit', 'stay', 'lay down', 'wait', and 'drop it'. He's at home alone 8 hours per day and has free roam of the home. At night he sleeps either on his bed in his guardian's room or in his guardian's bed with her. Apollo doesn't like/fears being closed in a room alone. Regarding riding in the car, he whines the first few minutes but then is good. Apollo's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: " He has been acting out ever since I had a baby last year. He’s been peeing in the house, getting into the trash, his anxiety is through the roof, and he is too rough with the baby. I don’t have the time to give him the attention he needs." Apollo's guardian offers a brief a medical history: "Minor knee injury last November." Apollo's guardian states the following regarding children: Although Apollo lives with children (ages 3, 7, and 9), his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, OR living only with older children, stating "He is too rough and nips while he plays. He would bo best with no children or older children." Apollo's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Although Apollo has lived with a dog, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "He's extremely dog reactive. He will go after any dog or any animal in site". Apollo's guardian states the following regarding cats: Although Apollo has lived with a cat, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "Very high prey drive. Will try to kill any cat he sees". Apollo's guardian describes him as: Very active Playful Friendly Shy Likes to be touched Affectionate Protective Always at your side Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Separation anxiety Apollo's guardian describes his ideal future home: "Apollo’s ideal home would be with someone who has plenty of time to give him the love and attention he deserves. Apollo is a very smart dog, but he is extremely anxious and requires a lot of attention and work. I would want him to have a nice yard with a privacy fence with no other animals or young children in the home. Someone who could build his confidence so that he’s less anxious and is able to play fetch with him in the yard." Rehoming Fee: $200 Location: North East, MD ***** ADOPTION PROCESS 1.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
