Description
Dog Breed: Rottweiler (short coat). Meet Apollo! A569796 An 8yo 116lb Rottweiler who arrived at the shelter 5/7/26 after his owners lost their home. Apollo is a senior stud with the gentlest soul, and he would rather be spending his golden years on your couch than in the shelter. From the moment you meet him, Apollo makes an impression. Heâs calm, affectionate, easygoing, and one of the sweetest dogs you could ever hope to know. He knows âsit,â appears house trained, takes treats gently, and is an absolute dream on leash. No pulling, no chaos, no drama. Just a good boy happy to be by your side. Apollo has participated in playgroup and may do well joining other animals at home. Once Apollo takes care of business outside, heâs perfectly content to relax next to you and soak up affection. He is the definition of a lovebug. The kind of dog who leans into you for cuddles you didnât know you needed and makes even quiet moments feel special. As shelter renovations ramp up, dogs like Apollo may soon spend even more time confined to crates. Thatâs especially hard on a senior dog who deserves peace, comfort, and companionship â not more stress and noise. Reel: .instagram/reel/DYz0Mk3OTMw/ Apollo has so much love left to give. He needs someone willing to open their heart to an older dog who will repay them with loyalty, sweetness, and unconditional love every single day.

Overview:
The Rottweiler is a powerful and intelligent breed, originating in Germany where they were primarily used to drive cattle and guard property. Physically, they are robust dogs, instantly recognizable by their medium-large size, strong build, and striking black coat with distinct tan markings, particularly on the muzzle, chest, and legs. Their temperament, when properly socialized and trained, is one of unwavering loyalty and confidence; they are known for being calm and courageous, making them excellent guardians. While generally good with children within their own family, their protective instincts mean they require supervision with strangers. Due to their size and need for regular exercise and mental stimulation, Rottweilers are generally not ideal for apartment living and thrive in homes with secure yards. Health-wise, they can be predisposed to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions, necessitating responsible breeding practices and regular veterinary check-ups.
