Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Hi, I’m Apollo! My fosters always say I’m a cheerful, well-balanced puppy. I already know my manners and will politely let you know when it’s time for a potty break. I have wonderful house manners and never chew or bite anything I shouldn’t. My days are filled with fun, playing with the resident dogs and the baby. I love making friends with both dogs and people. I would be thrilled to have a furry sibling, but if not, I’m just as happy to be your loyal shadow around the house. I’m crate-trained and sleep soundly through the night. I can’t wait to learn new tricks, and my foster says I’m a quick and clever pup. I even figured out how to sit and wait patiently for my food just by watching the other dogs. I also love squeaky and crinkly toys, and at times, the ones with some give but firm enough to ease my teething mouth. I've taken a few baths too, without any fuss. Overall, I will be an excellent addition to a family ready to help me grow and train me. In return, I’ll be a playful, fun companion who will return your love in oodles. P.S. After an overnight stay in his first foster home between leaving the shelter and a Pilots and Paws flight, Apollo is living with two resident dogs and a one-year-old baby in his current foster home. Apollo has recovered from the upper respiratory infection he developed during his stay at the shelter and is thriving after his week-long course of antibiotics. We are overjoyed to support Apollo and his littermate, Chloe, as they embark on their journey from shelter life to the loving, forever family they deserve. They were picked up by animal control from the streets and not claimed at the shelter. Help us share Apollo’s story so he can soon find a forever home that will fall in love with his floppy ears and the irresistible charm of his puppy days. Have you checked out our YouTube channel?

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.
