Apollo is a dream model for the amateur photographer…………He can actually stay still and one can not get a bad picture of him. It also helps that he is quite good looking and has always a beautiful smile in store. I am not even mentioning his gorgeous laughing eyes. Apollo deserves well his name. Yes, he has been well cared for, looks mightily healthy, enjoys a great weight and wears a perfect coat with very attractive markings. He is calm in his kennel, laying patiently at his door. He is ready when you are, accepts gladly the leash and strolls nicely around the block without pulling. He seems house trained and does not mark his territory. Other dogs are met without fuss. In playgroups with his peers, Apollo wants to play….Well, that is what playgroups are made for….Silly…Like any Rotweiler, Apollo who is also mixed with a Lab, loves food. He will jump for treats but can sit for them on command. He is great in the friendship department too, comes when called, leans on me and rubs his head in my hand for more caresses. Apollo welcomes dogs and people alike. He is a real socialite. Apollo is with us as his family is moving to a place not allowing pets. He his good with children, dogs, people and is not known to have handling issues. He would chew on stuff when left alone too long and prefers not to stay in a crate. He is said to be very affectionate and always there when  you need him. That is what I call a friend….Apollo would love to start his life again…..with you…… and forever this time. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.
