Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Apollo, the handsome frosted face German Shepherd. Apollo came to the Shelter after his previous guardian was unable to continue caring for him due to her medical needs. His previous guardian reports that, despite his large size, Apollo likes to sits on laps. His favorite activities are playing and running. Apollo does walk on leash but pulls fairly strongly. The property Apollo lived at previously had outdoor cats who Apollo coexisted with. Apollo previously spent the majority of his time outdoors. He may do well in a home environment where he has easy access outside to a securely fenced in yard via a doggy door or a similar set up and can come in at night. As long as you have some tennis balls and a good throwing arm, Apollo will be a happy camper. He came to the Shelter with his friend Eddie (A328562) who is also up for adoption. Eddie and Apollo could go to an adoptive home together for someone looking for a duo but is not required to be adopted with Eddie. Although he enjoys the company of that dog, he is a bit selective about other canine friends (outside of his buddy Eddie). He may enjoy being the only dog in his next home and soaking up all of your love. If you are a German Shepherd savvy adopter looking for a dog to be the apple of your eye, come meet Apollo today! The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
